Mike Brown talked about Delonte’s continued absence after practice today. From the Associated Press:
Mike Brown Speaks on Delonte’s Absence
“We’ve been around this block before with Delonte, so we know how to handle it. I’m sure he’ll be OK. Basketball has nothing to do with what’s going on. He needs to take as much time as he needs, and when he comes back, we’ll welcome him as we’ve always done.
We’re all concerned about Delonte’s well-being. We love him and we’re all in the same family. But in the same breath, we’re all paid to do a job and that’s what we’re doing. I’ve got 18 guys here I have to coach every day and that’s what I’m doing.”
Cavs guard Mo Williams, for one, downplayed the seriousness, citing West’s supportive friends and family as a safety net:
“I’d be worried about someone who doesn’t have a supporting cast around him and not trying to help him. I’m really not concerned about him,” said guard Mo Williams. “If he comes to practice tonight, it’ll be like he never left.”
