Delonte West is now working at the Florida Drug Rehabilitation Center, which he attended after Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban helped the former homeless NBA player regain his life, a source told ESPN.
West was treated at the Rebound Therapy Center in Florida. The Cuban took West at a gas station in September last year, after images circulated about him manipulating at an intersection in Dallas. The Cuban also helped West reconnect with his mother.
The Cuban is among several people involved in the NBA who, in recent years, have tried to help West, who publicly discussed his diagnosis of bipolar disorder during his career in the NBA.
The 37-year-old West averaged 9.7 points and 3.6 assists per game over eight NBA seasons while playing for the Boston Celtics, Seattle SuperSonics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Mavericks. He last played in 2011-12 for Dallas.
The news of West’s employment was first reported by The Athletic.
