Lamar Odom’s life has once again captured public 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, including speeding more than 40 miles per hour over the limit.
However, Lamar is scheduled to appear in court on March 17.
His journey has been filled with both major milestones and struggles, as he played 14 seasons in the NBA with teams like the Clippers, Lakers, Miami Heat, and Dallas Mavericks.
He won championships with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010 and was considered one of the best players in the league.
Outside of basketball, Odom faced personal struggles and married Khloé Kardashian in 2009, but their marriage did not work out and ended in 2013.
His struggles with drugs and alcohol played a major role in their shocking breakup.
In 2015, Lamar suffered a near-death overdose in a Nevada brothel and spent days on life support while suffering multiple seizures while in a coma.
The father of three has spoken openly about his past drug use. In 2024, he talked about taking drugs similar to those found in Liam Payne’s toxicology report.
This shocking arrest of Lamar Odom reminds fans that his journey with addiction is ongoing and that recovery can be fraught with challenges.
