Ex-NBA star Lamar Odom
A family representative says Lamar Odom has left a Las Vegas hospital and is now in the Los Angeles area to continue his recovery a week after being found unconscious at a Nevada brothel.
Alvina Alston, publicist for Odom’s aunt JaNean Mercer, said Tuesday that the former NBA star was transported by helicopter from Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas around 5 p.m. Monday.
The family statement thanks the hospital and Odom’s fans and says he’s making “miraculous” progress.
The statement says he took a few steps in Los Angeles. Alston says Odom’s estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, his father and his two children from a previous relationship are with him.
Odom was found in critical condition at the Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada, on Oct. 13. He regained consciousness Friday.
