Mark Cuban is trying to help former Dallas Mavericks player Delonte West get his life on the right track.

The Mavericks owner picked West up at a gas station in Dallas on Monday and has offered to pay for the 37-year-old to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation center, he confirmed to ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

By Tuesday, West had checked into a facility in Florida, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

West, who averaged 9.7 points and 3.6 assists during his NBA career, is diagnosed with bipolar disorder and currently homeless.
