Mark Cuban Says Delonte West Is Still Struggling, ‘Addiction Is Awful’

Mark Cuban states in spite of a rehabilitation stint and some current favorable updates, Delonte West is still having a hard time to get on the ideal course.

The Dallas Mavericks owner informed TMZ Sports out in NYC today that he’s been keeping in contact with his previous gamer … and, unfortunately, he stated West is continuing to battle to get healthy.

“It’s a struggle for him,” Cuban stated. “I mean, addiction is awful. And mental illness is awful. He’s at the point in his life where he’s got to want to be helped.”

West has actually fought drug abuse concerns in his past — and has actually been spotted panhandling in the streets numerous times in the last couple of years.

But, back in 2020, Cuban assisted him check into a rehab facility. And, this past June, West landed a flooring gig — and seemed getting back on his feet.

Cuban, however, stated West still has a long method to go.

“You know, he’s got to want to help himself first,” Mark stated. “I’ve tried. I know it’s tough on him, but I wish him nothing but the best.”
