Kevin Love sent support to Kyle Singler after some worrying social media activity.
On Tuesday, Singler posted two concerning videos on Instagram. The former Duke star and NBA forward said he feels like he's being "silenced," "mistreated," and "neglected" by people around him.
"I fear for my life every day," Singler said. "People in my community make me look out like I'm someone who's going to be a problem and make things difficult for people when I'm only trying to be helpful."
Love implored anyone around Singler to assist his former AAU teammate.
"To everyone who has spent time with Kyle Singler and whose lives he has touched - please shower him with the love and support he needs+deserves," Love wrote on X. "I would not be who I am today without him. I am forever indebted and love him. To the NBA family, Duke BB family, & South Medford community - let's show up for one of our own."
The five-time All-Star also encouraged Singler to reach out to him.
"I love you Kyle. Hit me whenever. Please," Love replied to the first video on Instagram.
In a second video, Singler said people around him have "played me into a fool." The 36-year-old said he was being "held hostage" by false narratives.
"I love you my brother," Love replied. "Supporting however I can."
Love has spoken openly about his struggles with depression and anxiety. The Miami Heat big man created a foundation to advocate for mental health.
Single was named the 2010 Final Four's Most Outstanding Player when leading Duke to a national championship. The second-round pick averaged 6.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in six seasons with the Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder.
