Mannix: Celts unlikely to release West

Chris Mannix tweets:

Despite fight between Delonte West and Von Wafer--the second spat between two this month--BOS not expected to release West, sources say.

West and Wafer have a lot of animosity and this happened early, but the truth is fights in practice are relatively common in the NBA

Despite knowing what really happened, I was hoping the Celtics wouldn't release Delonte. I'm willing to overlook a suckerpunch in lieu of increased odds of winning Banner 18.

UPDATE:

Woj tweets:

Delonte West has been living up to his medical requirements with Celtics and cutting him hasn't yet been discussed, sources tell Y!

UPDATE 2:

Globe's Gary Washburn tweets:

The Globe's Julian Benbow reporting that Delonte West will not face any penalty for fight with Von Wafer
