Delonte West Misses Team Flight to Orlando

According to multiple sources, Delonte West missed the Cavaliers' charter flight Tuesday afternoon to Orlando.

Cavs coach Mike Brown said West had been excused for missing the flight. This was at least the second team flight West has missed this season, according to a source, and the others were not excused.

Team officials declined to say whether this was the reason West did not play in Wednesday's game against Orlando.

Over the last two years, at times West has grown nervous before flying and at times, said multiple sources, has even delayed team flights until he can be calmed down and convinced to get on the plane.
