Former NBA Player Kyle Singler Arrested on Domestic Violence Allegations

WHITEFIELD, OK – Former NBA player and Duke University basketball star Kyle Singler was arrested in Whitefield, Oklahoma, on domestic violence allegations, according to the Haskell County Sheriff’s Office. Singler, 36, was taken into custody after deputies responded to a reported incident at an Airbnb where he was staying with his girlfriend and their child.

According to a probable cause affidavit, the victim alleged that Singler attempted to rape her and physically assaulted her, pushing her to the ground. Investigators noted hand-shaped marks on the victim’s face consistent with her allegations.

“It looked like he palmed her face like he would a basketball and pushed her down,” said Mitch Dobbs of the Haskell County Sheriff’s Office, as reported by KWTV.

Authorities also indicated that Singler appeared to be under the influence of narcotics and was uncooperative during the investigation. The couple’s child was unharmed during the incident. Singler was later released on bond.

The arrest follows a series of concerning social media posts last November where Singler appeared disoriented and expressed fears for his life, alleging mistreatment and abuse. The posts prompted an outpouring of support from former NBA colleagues like Kevin Love, Andre Drummond, and Isaiah Thomas.

Singler enjoyed a successful basketball career, leading Duke University to the 2010 NCAA Championship and earning the Most Outstanding Player award at the Final Four. He ranks fourth on Duke’s all-time scoring list. Drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 2011, Singler played 356 games in the NBA for the Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder before retiring in 2019.

This incident represents a troubling turn in Singler’s personal life since his departure from professional basketball. Further updates will be provided as the case develops.
