Kyle Singler, the former Duke, Real Madrid and NBA forward, has once again alarmed the basketball world after posting a series of distressing videos to Instagram in which he accused his old college coach Mike Krzyzewski of abandoning him and said he no longer feels safe leaving his own home.
ONE reports on the latest episode, which unfolded on Tuesday night when the 38-year-old, speaking slowly and at times incoherently across three separate clips, said: "Coach K has set me up... I have no power. I have no house," and added, "I'm stuck at my house and I can't leave, I feel imprisoned."
Singler alleged that his home had been broken into, that money had been taken from his accounts, and that Duke was still pursuing him for payments despite his assets being frozen. He also claimed people were trying to harm him and that he was being wrongly linked to alleged crimes in Oklahoma, where he finished his playing career with the Thunder.
"The coach, where are you? I thought we were on the same team," Singler said in one clip, according to ONE, an unmistakable direct appeal to Krzyzewski, who coached him to the 2010 national championship and named him the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player. Krzyzewski has not publicly responded; Singler claimed in the videos that his messages had been "dismissed" and that his old coach had been "deflective."
It is the third time since November 2024 that Singler has posted this kind of concerning material. In that first episode he said he had been "mistreated and abused, neglected, made into a mental example" and that he feared for his life every day; the NBA players' union confirmed at the time it had made contact with his family.
A follow-up round of videos in January 2026 saw Singler, shirtless and appearing confused, claim he was homeless and that a child in his life was being abused — allegations that were never publicly substantiated. He was arrested in October 2025 over an alleged domestic dispute involving assault and threats against his girlfriend.
As with the previous episodes, current and former NBA players moved quickly to voice support rather than judgment. Kevin Love, Isaiah Thomas and Andre Drummond have all publicly stood by Singler through his recent struggles, echoing the response from 2024.
None of the specific allegations in Singler's videos — about break-ins, frozen assets or threats to his safety — have been independently confirmed, and he has not appeared able to give a clear, consistent account of events across the three episodes.
Singler was one of the most decorated college players of his generation, a four-year starter at Duke who helped the Blue Devils win the 2010 NCAA title before playing a season on loan at Real Madrid in 2011-12. He was later drafted by the Detroit Pistons, for whom he played until 2015, before finishing his NBA career with the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2018.
The recurring nature of the videos — and the fact that friends and former teammates are once again the ones stepping forward publicly — has renewed calls within the basketball community for Singler to receive sustained support, with the NBPA's wellness resources cited as the avenue several commentators pointed him toward.
