Delonte West fresh season start is not off to a good start.  On first day of training camp, Delonte West didn’t report to practice.

“On a personal note, you always hope he’s doing well,” Cavs coach Mike Brown said. “But I have to continue looking forward and coaching this team. Whether it is Delonte or somebody else, if they miss practice and it is unexcused it will be handled internally.”

Team manager Danny Ferry is handling the issue and not sure if Danny or anyone have been in contact with West.

West has been battling a mood disorder his whole life and last year talked about his issues publicly after leaving the team during training camp to seek treatment.
