    Dallas Mavericks guard Delonte West has been suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said.

    Carlisle did not specify a timetable for West's suspension.

    Sources told ESPNDallas.com that West's suspension stems at least in part from an outburst in the locker room after the Mavs' 123-104 preseason win Monday over the Houston Rockets. He had 2 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound in 16 minutes during the win.

    West tweeted later Monday: "Sorry moma..." and "I showed off on ur birthday again..."

    West, an eight-year veteran entering his second season with the Mavs, has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
