Lamar Odom’s life once again caught the public’s attention after a tense night in Las Vegas.
The former NBA star, 46, was unexpectedly arrested early Saturday morning for driving under the influence.
Khloé Kardashian’s ex-husband also faced two traffic violations and that includes speeding more than 40 miles per hour over the limit.
However, Lamar is due in court on March 17.
His journey has been full of milestones and great struggles, as he played 14 seasons in the NBA with teams such as the Clippers, Lakers, Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks.
He won championships with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010 and was celebrated as one of the best players in the league.
Away from basketball, Odom has faced personal struggles and married Khloé Kardashian in 2009, but their marriage did not work out and ended in 2013.
His struggle with drugs and alcohol played a major role in their shocking split.
In 2015, Lamar suffered a near-death overdose at a Nevada brothel and spent days on life support while suffering multiple seizures while in a coma.
The father of three has been open about his past drug use. In 2024, he spoke about taking medications similar to those found in Liam Payne’s toxicology report.
This shocking arrest of Lamar Odom reminds fans that his journey with addiction continues and that recovery can be full of challenges.
