Lamar Odom may have a chance to play in the NBA again. According to a report, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers are currently monitoring the player’s progress in the hope of possibly signing the free-agent forward. Sources say the organizations are concerned mostly about Odom’s ability to put his recent personal and legal issues behind him.
The Clippers and Lakers, who both showed interest in Odom this past summer up until his troubles, have revamped their interest in him if he’s ready to play this season.
According to sources, the NBA player recently began training to get in shape to play in the second half of the season.
Odom has played with both the Clippers and Lakers in the past. He has had a good history with both organizations so sources say the teams are open to his return as long as he’s in good shape and ready to play.
In August, Odom was arrested on a DUI charge and rumors of his alleged heavy drug use riddled the headlines of national media.
