BLUE 1,026 Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) By Tim MacMahon | ESPNDallas.com DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks guard Delonte West has been suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. Carlisle did not specify a timetable for West's suspension. Sources told ESPNDallas.com that West's suspension stems at least in part from an outburst in the locker room after the Mavs' 123-104 preseason win Monday over the Houston Rockets. He had 2 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound in 16 minutes during the win. West, an eight-year veteran entering his second season with the Mavs, has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. West's bipolar disorder was a factor in a September 2009 incident that resulted in his arrest on weapons charges after he was pulled over while driving a three-wheel motorcycle in Upper Marlboro, Md. West was sentenced to eight months of house arrest for that incident and suspended for 10 games by the NBA. West was a valuable role player for the Mavs last season, averaging 9.6 points and 3.2 assists and playing tenacious defense while seeing time at both guard positions.
