Former NBA player Delonte West has entered a rehab facility with the help of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, reports say.
Cuban offered to help West’s family after a picture of the former Cleveland Cavalier guard began circulating the internet last week, TMZ Sports reported. West appeared to be begging for money on a street in Dallas. He looked thin and in poor health.
