What’s going on with Kyle Singler? 6-foot-8 ex-Thunder star posts disturbing video about Coach K

Kyle Singler is at the center of a troubling story after the former Duke standout posted a string of rambling Instagram videos this week, aiming pointed accusations at his old college coach, Mike Krzyzewski. The clips show him pacing through what looks like an empty house, insisting people are trying to hurt him and take his money.It's a jarring turn for a guy once known for hitting big shots on college basketball's biggest stage. Now the questions aren't about his jumper. They're about his safety.What's going on with Kyle Singler?The videos surfaced on Tuesday night, and they don't look good. Kyle Singler, 38, wanders from room to room, appears to be agitated, describing a life that sounds nothing like the one he built during his NBA years. He says his power has been shut off. He says his house has been broken into. He says money is being drained from accounts he can barely track anymore.None of that has been independently verified. But the pattern is familiar to anyone who followed his last public flare-up. Back in November 2024, Singler posted something similar, telling followers he feared for his life every single day. This week's videos pick up roughly where that one left off, only louder and more disjointed.There's also history sitting underneath all of this. Singler was arrested in Oklahoma last October after his girlfriend told police he grabbed her by the head and shoved her to the ground during an argument at an Airbnb, with their child present. He posted bond on a misdemeanor charge and the case has largely stayed out of headlines since, until now.What did Kyle Singler say about Coach K?Singler didn't just vent about strangers or unnamed enemies. He went after Krzyzewski directly, the coach who guided him to a national title in 2010 and later called him one of the most complete players he'd ever developed.Singler claims he reached out for help and got nothing back. "Coach K has set me up, man," he said in one clip, adding that Krzyzewski had "fully dismissed" his messages.“You guys are cutting my power off, breaking into my house, stealing money, ruining my life. I reached out to Coach K and all he did was sit me on the bench. Thanks, man. Is that what we're doing at that school, sitting people down, teaching them up? Cool beans, man. Coach, where you at? Help a brother out. Thought we were on the same team, man," Singler shared.He described feeling abandoned by the program he once helped define, at one point comparing his situation to being benched, as though the man who shaped his career had simply stopped answering the phone.It's worth remembering where Singler came from. He was the engine of Duke's 2010 championship run, earned Most Outstanding Player honors in that tournament, and went on to play seven NBA seasons split between Detroit and Oklahoma City after going 33rd overall in 2011. He pulled in more than $22 million over his career, most of it from a contract extension with the Thunder.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates. Download the TOI app.
