West, 37, disclosed in 2015 he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2008. He has since battled drug addiction and homelessness, and West was seen "panhandling at an intersection in Dallas," last week, per MacMahon

Cuban has reportedly offered to pay for West to enter a drug rehabilitation facility, an effort that is supported by the ex-point guard's family and friends.
