Cavaliers guard Delonte West hasn't played a minute in the preseason, but could be in the lineup next week.

Despite the lack of game action, coach Mike Brown says that he won't hesitate to play West when the regular season kicks off.

"Think back to when we made the trade," Brown told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "We made the trade and he started at point guard the next day.

"I'm laid back with that kind of stuff. I don't have much concern."

West is facing a court date of Nov. 20 on gun possession charges and has been away from the team during training camp at times.
