Lamar Odom

Over the last couple of days, TMZ has reported about Lamar Odom’s alleged drug addition and how the former Laker has been using crack cocaine or OxyContin for over the past two years.

Since the news broke about his alleged addiction, TMZ is now reporting that Khloe Kardashian and her family have not been able to find or contact Odom for nearly 72 hours, and they are concerned he may be hiding somewhere on a drug binge:

“Sources connected to the NBA star tell us people on Lamar’s side, and on the Kardashian side have not been able to find Lamar or contact him for nearly 72 hours — and we’re told the main concern is he’s hiding out while doing crack cocaine.”

If these reports are true, it’s truly unfortunate that Odom’s life has reached this point after it seemed like he was putting his life back together with the Clippers. Since the off-season, there were rumors that Odom was preparing to re-sign with the Lakers, but those rumors quickly faded.

The two-time NBA champion has gone through so much in his life, and we can only pray that he will be fine.

UPDATE: TMZ “spoke to a rep for Lamar who says Lamar is fine, however he would not say anything about his whereabouts.”
