Good News for Delonte West

Like many people around the NBA, we have been following the Delonte West story for quite some time now. Last September, West was spotted homeless and begging for money on the streets of Dallas. When Mavericks owner Mark Cuban heard about it, he promptly stepped in to assist - first he helped find West on the streets of Dallas and then aided him in checking into rehab. 

On November 3, 2020 Cuban tweeted out the the following regarding West's recovery:
