Former NBA player Delonte West has once again found himself in trouble with the law. West, who played in the NBA for eight seasons, was recently seen in a parking lot in Arlington, Virginia, looking disheveled and unwell after being arrested.
A video obtained by TMZ Sports shows West stumbling through the parking lot in flip-flops after his latest arrest in Fairfax County. Police were trying to serve a warrant for violating the terms of his release when West fled from them. He was eventually found by officers and administered Narcan at a hospital.
This is not the first time that West has had issues with the law. His mugshot from his recent arrest went viral as he appeared unrecognizable. The former NBA guard has been a cause for concern among fans and former players, as he has been struggling with substance abuse issues since leaving the NBA in 2011.
In an attempt to help West, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had previously tried to get him into a rehab center in Florida in 2021. Despite these efforts, West continues to face challenges with his well-being.
West, a first-round pick by the Boston Celtics in 2004, had a tumultuous career in the NBA, playing for multiple teams before his final season with the Mavericks. He averaged 9.7 points per game over 432 contests in his career.
Fans and former players have expressed their worries for West, who has been involved in public altercations and incidents over the years. There have been reports of him being spotted without shoes in Houston, outside a strip club, and even at a youth basketball game.
Most recently, West was seen walking through the streets of Maryland, leading to concerns that he may be homeless. However, West has denied being homeless in the past.
Despite his struggles, many are hoping that West can get the help he needs to overcome his challenges and find stability in his life. The NBA community continues to show support for him, as they hope for a positive outcome in his ongoing battle with personal issues.
