After Worrying Video Surfaces, Kevin Love Rushes To Help Ex NBA Star “Fearing for Life”

The NBA may be an arena for competition, talent, and fame. But it’s also a setting where the mental toll of life in the spotlight is often laid bare. Players like DeMar DeRozan, Paul George, and even Kaleb Joseph have famously opened up about their battles with mental health, challenging the notion that success and money shield against hardship. In a powerful reminder of the importance of mental health support in sports, a recently posted concerning video of an ex-NBA Star on social media sparked widespread worry. But he found one NBA friend to get help from.

The former NBA player Kyle Singler, recently took to his Instagram to post about the struggles that he has been facing. In the video, the former Duke standout appeared almost unrecognizable as he detailed experiences of mistreatment.

“So I need to make, just an announcement, cause I feel like my voice is again silenced. And everyday s–t is being thrown my way and my community f—-ed. I’ve been mistreated, ab–ed, neglected, made into a mental example and I fear for my life. Everyday,” said Singler in the video.

As Singler shared troubling statements, Kevin Love quickly stepped in, expressing his concern and urging Singler to reach out for help with the comment, “I love you Kyle. Hit me whenever. Please.”

The dialogue that Love’s response has opened up highlights the need for continued mental health advocacy in professional sports. Singler’s video may have been a cry for help, but it also serves as a reminder that support systems, both professional and personal, are essential for anyone facing hardship.
