Delonte West “Roughing It Out” In Rehab: Report
Heart-wrenching images of Delonte West begging for money in the streets of Dallas went viral this year and, after spotting them, Mark Cuban promised to help the former hops star.
The owner of the Dallas Mavericks found West at a gas station, had a conversation with him, and vowed to get him the help that he needs. After that, West reunited with his mother and they agreed to send him to a rehabilitation center in Florida. He has been in rehab for about a week and, according to a new report by TMZ, he’s doing well.

The retired basketball player is reportedly in the detox stage of his rehab, which is one of the hardest parts to get through. This is known as Phase 1 in his treatment, and it may take longer than you think. Effectively, West is being helped to remove all traces of drugs and alcohol in his system. He is being looked after by professionals and, once he completes this end of the rehab process, he will be moved to a new facility to focus on mental health and long-term sober plans.
The report states that Delonte is “doing fine” and “roughing it out” right now.

Hopefully, West is able to find a long-term solution to his substance abuse issues, also locking down a source of income to stay off the streets. We’re all praying for you!

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”
Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.
“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.
But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
