NBA world expresses concern over former Thunder player, Pistons forward Kyle Singler after cryptic Instagram post
The world of the NBA showed concern for one of the former players, Kyle Singler, who posted a private video on Instagram saying that he feared for his life.
Singler, who played at Duke before playing six seasons in the NBA, was shirtless in the video he posted and spoke softly.
“I’ve been mistreated and abused, ignored, made an example of,” said Singler. “And I fear for my life every day. And people in my neighborhood make me look like I’m going to be a problem and make things difficult for people if I’m just trying to help.

Several NBA players commented on the video, which was cut off after 90 seconds.
