It’s been an odd last few months for Delonte West. During the offseason, the starting shooting guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers was arrested on gun charges. On Monday, he attented the team’s media day. However, on Tuesday, West was missing in action for the Cavs first practice of training camp.
There has been no confirmation that the Cavs know where he is or why he missed practice.
“On a personal note,” said Cavs head coach Mike Brown, “you always hope he’s doing well.”
Last season during training camp, West left the team to tackle his bipolar disorder. He went on to have arguably the best year of his career, averaging 11.7, 3.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 33.6 minutes per game.
Hopefully, the 26-year-old is safe wherever he is and can get his life back in order. The Cavs certainly need him if they are going to be true championship contenders this NBA season.
