Troubled former NBA player Delonte West seen stumbling in parking lot after latest arrest


Embattled former NBA guard Delonte West appeared in bad shape when he was spotted in a parking lot in Arlington, Virginia, after his latest arrest.

Video obtained by TMZ Sports shows West, who played eight seasons in the NBA, including with LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers, stumbling through a parking lot in flip-flops after being arrested last week.

The 40-year-old man was arrested in Fairfax County after fleeing police, who were attempting to serve a warrant for violating terms of release, according to Fox 5 DC. When officers found him, they administered Narcan at a hospital, according to TMZ Sports.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had previously tried to get West, who played for his team in his final season, to help out at a Florida rehab center in 2021. However, he is still battling substance abuse issues.

One of West's reported altercations occurred in January 2020, when he accused a man of pointing a gun at him. Fans and former players were all trying to “figure out” ways to help him at the time, which led to Cuban trying to help.

In 2016, West was also seen walking around Houston without shoes while having incidents outside a strip club and at a youth basketball game.

Fans were more concerned that West would become homeless after being seen in Maryland walking down the street. However, at the time, West said he wasn't homeless, according to Complex.

West was a first-round pick of the Boston Celtics in 2004, and spent three seasons with the team before being traded to the Seattle Supersonics. He only spent half a season with them before being traded to the Cavaliers. He played two and a half seasons in Cleveland before joining the Celtics for the 2010-11 season.
