Troubled guard Delonte West did not show up for the Cleveland Cavaliers' first day of practice. West was recently arrested for gun possession in Maryland after police pulled over his three-wheel motorcycle for a traffic violation and found he was carrying three loaded weapons — two handguns and a shotgun in a guitar case he had on his back. General manager Danny Ferry said West, who has been treated for bipolar disorder, was not in any harm. "Delonte is in Cleveland," Ferry said via e-mail Tuesday night. "He is addressing a personal matter."
