West, a D.C. native, was a star guard at St. Joseph’s University before the Boston Celtics selected him with the No. 24 pick of the 2004 NBA Draft. He then played for the Seattle Supersonics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks before falling out of the league after the 2011-12 season.
Over the last few years, a series of events have occurred that have led to many people wondering how West was doing. He had been seen in 2016 wondering around Houston without any shoes on and then had altercations outside a strip club and at a youth basketball game.
West was seen in 2016 walking down a street in Maryland, sparking concerns that he was homeless. However, West was adamant that he was not homeless and that he was doing fine, Complex reported.
His brother told The Daily Mail in 2016 that Delonte was suffering from bipolar disorder.
