Here's Everything We Know About Lamar So Far


A basketball comeback would have been so inspiring.
Lamar Odom Continues His 'Miraculous Recovery,' But He Still Has Hurdles To Overcome As His Condition Improves....
According to reports from the hospital, doctors are still waiting to figure out if Khloe Kardashian's ex has sustained significant brain damage, which is a concern considering his coma and general condition following his apparent drug overdose at a Nevada brothel on Tuesday.
It appears Odom suffered an ischemic stroke, which occurs when a blood clot prevents blood flow to the brain
— and that kind of stroke is most typically associated with overdose patients, including those who have consumed cocaine. 

Accordingly, a source has revealed that "virtually every drug imaginable" has been found in Odom's system — scary!

The good news, though, is the source also revealed that Odom is "100% breathing," and no longer using a ventilator!
Apparently, Lamar Odom was attempting a comeback to professional basketball in the weeks before he suffered the drug overdose that put his life in jeopardy on Tuesday in Nevada.

Odom, 35, played more than a decade in the NBA, for teams like the Dallas Mavericks (pictured above), the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers, and he experienced a great deal of success during his time in the league.
Now, a source has come forward revealing that Odom was seriously training at the sport right up until a couple weeks ago at an athletic center in a suburb of Las Vegas. The source said: 
"He seemed VERY serious about training to get a pro tryout. He had trainers with him and was working on his shot. He also was working on his cardio on the Stairmaster. He looked good."
Very inneresting — we've previously reported that ex-teammates believed basketball to be Lamar's version of therapy, so being near the game would seem to have a positive impact on his mental and physical health.
NBA teams are currently in the middle of their preseason schedule, too; had things gone right for Lamar, he could've caught on with a team this month before the season begins in about two weeks.
For now, though, all that is unimportant compared to the former hoops star's health — and it appears that his condition is improving, if only incrementally, as time goes on.
