Former Duke Star Kyle Singler Posts Troubling Videos Accusing Coach K

Former NBA player and Duke University basketball star Kyle Singler has sparked widespread concern after posting a series of troubling videos on Instagram on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. In the videos, the 38-year-old made serious allegations about his safety and repeatedly called out his former college coach, Mike Krzyzewski, in what observers described as a plea for help.

Singler, who helped lead Duke to the 2010 NCAA championship and was named the Final Four Most Outstanding Player, posted multiple videos to his Instagram account. In them, he appeared visibly distressed and made a range of claims, including that he had no power or house, that his accounts were frozen, and that people were breaking into his residence and trying to kill him. He directly addressed Krzyzewski, known as Coach K, accusing him of setting him up and dismissing his messages for help. "Man, Coach K has set me up," Singler said in one video. "I've reached out to coach and everybody has turned the other way." He also stated, "I'm stuck at my house and I can't leave. I feel imprisoned."

The videos prompted immediate concern from fans, former teammates, and mental health professionals. Teresa Behrend Fletcher,...
