He added, “I feel like I have a certain way about myself and strength and purpose that does not get valued or get treated properly.”

In the video, Singler, 36, was shirtless and spoke slowly as he claimed he felt his voice was “again silenced.”

“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.”

“I feel like I have a certain way about myself and strength and purpose that does not get valued or get treated properly,” he continued.

The video, which ended abruptly after about 90 seconds, had been shared almost 12,000 times as of Wednesday afternoon.

It drew an outpouring of support from the basketball world, including from Miami Heat forward Kevin Love, Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond and former NBA forward Chandler Parsons, among others.

Check out what The New Yor Post reported:

The calls to help don’t appear to be getting through to Kyle Singler yet.

The one-time Duke star has continued to post worrying videos on Instagram nightly, as his former NBA colleagues continue to voice concerns over his welfare.

“We need to understand we are in a religious war right now across the map,” Singler said in his latest video posted. “It’s time to ante up, make a call, make time and lay your bet … People don’t want to feel the light, put their life in the light and expand on what they already know. It’s always a fight for the mic, who has the last say? The last word? The world has been ruined by our leaders, leadership and direction. My hearts are with the one’s who have been left behind…”
