Delonte West getting arrested is quite habitual nowadays
After being charged with a misdemeanor, West was released on November 3 and is scheduled to appear in court in January.
Since the end of his career, West, who played for the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Dallas Mavericks in the NBA, has been dealing with a growing number of legal issues. Though he questioned the diagnosis, he was given a bipolar illness diagnosis in 2008.
During his eight-year NBA career, which concluded at the age of 28 following his only season with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011–2012, West earned over $16 million.
The arrest a few days ago is simply another chapter in West’s lengthy history of legal issues, as he has been repeatedly embroiled in a string of regrettable incidents since then.
