Cavaliers guard Delonte West downplayed his recent arrest on gun charges when he reported for training camp on Monday.

"We've got to respect the legal process," West told the media. "I understand there's a lot of questions a lot of things you want to know about the situation. Right now I want to focus on this team and playing basketball."

He was arrested earlier this month after police found West was carrying two concealed handguns and a shotgun in a guitar case on his back after they pulled him over on a traffic violation in his native Maryland.

West has a court date in late November.

"Once the details come out surrounding the situation, you'll see that it's not as big as some are making it," he added. "There's a lot going on with a lot of athletes in the news and it was just bad timing before training camp, unfortunately. That's going to handle itself."
