West Absent Again, But Excused

The Delonte West guessing game continues, as the Cavaliers guard took an excused absence from Tuesday’s preseason game and today’s practice. West had missed the first four practices last week.

Lebron James, however, is still standing behind his man:

“He’s one of the ones that we know is going to be there no matter what,” James said Wednesday. “When he’s out on that court, he forgets about everything else going on in his personal life. We’re looking forward to getting him back, but he’s going to take as much time as he needs.”

In addition to having battled a bipolar disorder in the past, West is also facing a possible suspension for carrying two handguns and a shotgun while riding his motorcycle last month. Not sure how much LeBron’s confidence can help him out there.
