INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) -Delonte West was absent from the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second straight day on Wednesday while he deals with personal issues. The team confirmed the absence as unexcused.
West attended Monday’s media day, but has disappeared since and missed the first three practice sessions. The team is scheduled to practice again Wednesday evening.
West, who has battled depression and mood disorders for years, was recently arrested for gun possession in Maryland after police pulled over his three-wheel motorcycle for a traffic violation and found he was carrying three loaded weapons – two handguns and a shotgun in a guitar case he had on his back. West said he had since resumed taking his medications and felt better.
