The National Basketball Players Association has connected with former Duke star and NBA player Kyle Singler's family after he said he fears for his life in a cryptic Instagram video he posted on Tuesday.

“We are in contact with Kyle’s family,” Sarah Houseknecht, a spokeswoman for the NBPA, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Wednesday morning. “As with all current and former members of the NBPA, we offer any and all support to players, whether through their biggest successes or times of challenge.”

Singler, 36, spoke slowly and was shirtless in the first video, which was posted Tuesday morning. It drew an outpouring of concern and support from former teammates and others and has been shared more than 12,000 times.

“I have been mistreated and abused, neglected, made into a mental example,” Singler said. “And I fear for my life every day. And people in my community make me look out as if I’m going to be someone that’s going to be a problem and make things difficult for people when I’m only trying to be helpful.
