Cavaliers guard Delonte West played for the first time this season, scoring 13 points in the team's win over the Bobcats.

Cleveland defeated Charlotte 90-79 on Saturday night.

West missed all eight of the team's preseason games and their first three contests of the regular season as he dealt with personal issues.

He was 5-for-7 from the field, grabbed two rebounds, dished two assists and received a technical foul in 24 minutes.

"I thought he played terrific. He's been off and we had to walk him through a few plays here and there," teammate Mo Williams said with a laugh.

"But besides that, he's just a basketball player. He knows the game. He knows the spots on the floor. He's familiar with us and it was great to have him back."
