Delonte West has been arrested yet again, TMZ Sports has learned.

The Fairfax County Police Department tells us ... the former NBA star was thrown behind bars in Virginia on Nov. 2 -- after he was accused of trespassing.

The FCPD says the allegations came down on Nov. 1 ... after a person reported that West would not leave an area in Huntington that he was banned from. The FCPD claims the complainant showed officers video surveillance that corroborated their story. A warrant for West's arrest was obtained a short time later.

The Bronny James effect has made its way to the G League ... with ticket prices surging after it was announced the Lakers rookie would make his debut with the team's affiliate in South Bay this weekend.

As we previously reported, LeBron's son will split time between the NBA and its developmental league for the foreseeable future ... with the 20-year-old slated to play in South Bay's home contests.

Tickets for Saturday's game against Salt Lake City at the UCLA Health Training Center were around $58 on popular platforms at the time of the announcement ... but in the hours following, they've become increasingly more pricey.

Forget dinner and a movie ... Simone Biles and her husband, Bears safety Jonathan Owens, had something else in mind for date night in Chicago -- a Bulls game!

The famous couple were even gifted custom jerseys by the organization for pullin' up.

Simone and Jonathan -- who married in 2023 -- were spotted sitting courtside at the United Center on Thursday to watch Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves face their Bulls.

Lamar Odom's giving a whole new meaning to the nickname "dollface" ... 'cause he just ordered his own custom sex doll -- and, he wants it to look like his ex Khloe Kardashian!

The former NBA star went on a NSFW Willy Wonka-level tour of RealDoll's Las Vegas facility Tuesday ... full of totally nude female sex dolls hanging on hooks and huge realistic male organs -- and, Lamar got to touch everything in the facility.

Ya gotta watch the clip ... Lamar's walking through the facility -- picking up dildos and whipping them around before copping a feel of one doll's boobs, touching her all over and saying it almost makes him want to design women's fashion.

Bronny James is getting sent to the G League -- at least on a temporary basis -- with reports claiming the NBA rookie will now split time with the Lakers and their developmental affiliate.

The news was broken by Shams Charania just now ... with the insider stating LeBron's son got the call to head to the South Bay Lakers on Thursday.

Bronny will make his debut with South Bay on Saturday against Salt Lake City ... but will also be with the big dogs for Friday's home matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive is making it known he's got DeMar DeRozan's back amid the hooper's feud with Drake ... rocking a Kendrick Lamar shirt courtside when the Raptors came to town!

Cameras spotted the 67-year-old wearing a tee that said "They Not Like Us" for Wednesday's contest at the Golden One Center in Sacramento -- a clear message to the Toronto-based rapper after comments he made on Saturday's broadcast.

The beef was ignited after Drake was asked if the Raptors should retire DeRozan's jersey -- after having spent nine seasons in the Six.

The Trae Young vs. Knicks fans rivalry is back in full effect -- the Atlanta Hawks star jawed at a couple of New York supporters after their first matchup of the season -- telling 'em to skedaddle back to the Big Apple!!

The Knicks were in Atlanta to face the Hawks on Wednesday ... and their diehard supporters made the trip to check out the action -- making their hate for Young known throughout the contest.

But the three-time All-Star got the last laugh ... 'cause the Hawks won 121-116, with help from his 23 points.

The reporter Joel Embiid shoved after a game this weekend will continue to go about his day job ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned the Philadelphia Inquirer is not pulling him from his Sixers beat after a confrontation with the NBA superstar.

Marcus Hayes -- a columnist at the outlet -- drew backlash after criticizing Embiid for not suiting up for games ... mentioning his late brother and son in a since-edited piece.

Embiid was furious over Hayes' words ... and approached the journalist after the Sixers' home game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, pushing him in the shoulder in the process.

Bronny James is quite the romantic despite being thousands of miles away from his lady ... 'cause the NBA rookie sent his girlfriend, Parker Whitfield, a bouquet of flowers and a mushy love note during the Lakers' road trip.

Parker -- the daughter of actors Dondre and Salli-Richardson Whitfield -- got the beautiful delivery on Tuesday ... and shared the sweet gesture gift with her Instagram followers.

The present also included a letter ... with part of it saying, "Your BF loves you so much."

Mark Cuban — one of Kamala Harris' most vocal advocates during her presidential campaign — is giving Donald Trump kudos for his big win in the 2024 election.

The billionaire mogul jumped on "X" Tuesday night after it became clear Trump was the victor against Harris and wrote, "Congrats @realDonaldTrump. You won fair and square. Congrats to @elonmusk as well." Musk was a big backer of Trump during his campaign.

On the other hand, Cuban was a huge Harris supporter, acting as a surrogate for the VP in her quest for the White House.

Joel Embiid just got hit with a suspension as a result of his physical altercation with a reporter ... receiving a three-game ban for his actions after the Sixers' loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday.

The whole issue stemmed from a column from Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Inquirer ... who criticized Embiid's absence from games -- making questionable comments about his late brother and son in the process.

Embiid confronted Hayes at Wells Fargo Arena shortly after the weekend matchup with Memphis ... reportedly saying, "The next time you bring up my dead brother and my son again, you are going to see what I’m going to do to you and I'm going to have to ... live with the consequences."

It's been two years since Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole in practice ... but the two clearly haven't entirely buried the hatchet -- 'cause the NBA stars got testy with each other during Monday night's game.

Poole and his Washington Wizards hosted Green's Golden State Warriors ... and unsurprisingly, the former teammates taunted each other during the Dubs' 125-112 victory.

They had several exchanges in the contest ... and at one point, Wizards rookie Carlton "Bub" Carrington started chatting with the four-time champ -- before Poole intervened and put a stop to it.

Jaxson Hayes will continue to suit up for the Los Angeles Lakers as the NBA reinvestigates his 2021 arrest ... and that was proven to be the case on Monday, when the 7'0" center logged minutes in his team's loss to the Detroit Pistons.

Hayes played nine minutes -- scoring five points, three rebounds and a steal -- in the 103-115 defeat ... and some fans were puzzled as to why JJ Redick chose to call his number after TMZ Sports shared new video of a verbal and physical altercation with his then-girlfriend, Sofia Jamora, at her L.A. home.

As we previously reported, the NBA reopened its probe into the player hours after our article was published ... and Hayes, Jamora and the Lakers all said they would cooperate with the inquiry.

Freddie Gibbs just dropped a surprise album using Freddy Krueger's scare tactics and it's already winning over hardcore rap fans ... just ask one of the biggest, LeBron James!!!

TMZ Hip Hop recently linked with FG and his A&R, Norva Denton, at his pop-up shop for his new "You Only Die 1nce" album released on Friday ... after he plastered Hollywood with nightmarish billboards to resemble Elm Street right before Halloween!!!

Freddie's steadily getting praised for his rapping ability, and the first listen impressed LBJ so much he had to post on social media about it.

We spotted the promo a couple weeks ago and connected the dots ... Freddie says he called up FK actor Robert Englund, who happily obliged to do the voiceover and give Freddie's hip hop peers the same unnerving Krueger haunted him with as a kid.

Because of his reputation as a skilled MC, we also got Freddie's take on why the BET Hip Hop Awards cut out its biggest draw this year -- the rapping ciphers that have been going viral for many years.

Freddie tells us today's talent flat-out sucks at rapping, but he doesn't have that ailment, so here were are.

Gregg Popovich reportedly suffered a "health issue" over the weekend before the Spurs game ... with the legendary head coach being ruled out for an "indefinite period."

Shams Charania broke the news Monday morning, saying the 75-year-old coach suffered the issue prior to the Spurs matchup against the Timberwolves on Saturday ... which they won, 113-103.

Assistant coach Mitch Johnson -- who stepped in for his boss and will now serve as interim coach -- said at the time the all-time winningest coach in league history was "not feeling well."

Jaxson Hayes is under the NBA's microscope once again -- the league just reopened its investigation into the Lakers player's 2021 arrest -- this after TMZ Sports released new video of a dispute with his then-girlfriend.

The footage shows the 7'0" center in a heated exchange with Sofia Jamora at her L.A. area home ... where the then-New Orleans Pelican verbally abused and put his hands on the model -- and, at one point, spit in her direction.

During the altercation, Jamora is heard saying, "I'm not going to let you hit me anymore. What the f*** do I look like, a punching bag?"
