It’s been a long journey for former NBA star Lamar Odom this year. Last year, two of his closest friends passed away from drug overdoses, and he was found unconscious after he overdosed in Las Vegas, Nevada. Though he was in critical condition when he was discovered, Odom has since recovered and committed himself to moving forward. Yesterday, Odom’s divorce from Khloe Kardashian was officially finalized, and the baller decided to check himself into rehab. E! Online reported on Monday night, that “Odom has not fallen off the wagon, but he wanted to work on his mental and physical health for the next chapter of his life.”
According to US Weekly, Odom has been at the San Diego rehab facility for four days now, and he plans on staying there for awhile longer, “He wanted to feel 100 percent again. He did not relapse, but felt like he wanted to get away and start fresh for the New Year.”
Despite the final very rocky years of Khloe and Lamar’s marriage, we know that divorce can be hard on anyone, and its’s important that Odom is taking the time he needs to get healthy for himself and for his two children.
We certainly wish him the best as we move forward into 2017.
