The fall from grace for Delonte West continues on as we move closer to a new year.

2025 was much of the same for him, and it looks like he might be ending it the same way it started.

Delonte West has been spotted outside again, but this time, he was in poor physical condition and was handcuffed before being taken to jail.

The former NBA star was reportedly found intoxicated in Los Angeles before being arr3sted for his own safety by the Fairfax County Police.

Police in Fairfax County, Va., responded to a call on Monday about an unidentified man who was shockingly found unconscious and did not appear to be breathing, according to a report from TMZ. Once officers made it to the scene, they found that the man, later identified as Delonte, was breathing and able to talk to them.

He would refuse an offer to go to the hospital. However, he was so intoxicated that police placed him under arr3st for his own safety. It did not last long, as he has since been released, and it is unclear if he will face any charges.

Delonte West Has Had A Crazy Year in 2025

Delonte West was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2008, and things have been terrible for him since the last time he played in the NBA. He has been battling severe mental health issues that eventually led to a heartbreaking spiral into homelessness.

In September, he was spotted in a vehicle and singing “Happy Birthday” to a woman’s husband.

Later in that same month, other people saw him shirtless and dancing before they would provide him with $20.

The recent ordeal serves as the latest run-in with the law for West, who simply cannot get past his mental issues to allow himself to get help long enough to stay off the street.

At this point, we can only hope and pray that Delonte West can somehow get past this.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
