If I had to guess, he probably had a lotta attempts at interventions and assistance over the years. Key problem likely being his refusal to take his meds consistently. Hard to force an adult to do so and some times it’s the only way you can stabilize a mental illness like this.

Delonte West photos troubling for player with history of mental illness


that's from back in 2016, he's been wandering around like this for a while and money isn't the entire answer. The league needs to step in and help that man, whether they've already tried to or not.
Y’all keep saying the league needs to step in. Y’all don’t think they’ve tried? Have y’all dealt with ppl with mental health problems? There isn’t shyt you can do for many of them if they don’t want to actively help themselves. Legally you can’t force anyone against their will. So besides putting them in a straight jacket and throwing them in a padded room what y'all suggest?
