Lamar Odom may be risking his life all over again.
The two-time NBA champion miraculously survived a near-fatal overdose at a Nevada brothel back in October that put him in a coma. Apparently that ordeal wasn't enough to scare him straight.
Family and friends of Odom fear that he is using hard drugs once again and recently went to his California home to confront him, where they discovered drug paraphernalia, according to TMZ Sports.
Odom has wrestled with demons for quite some time and has had a well-documented, sordid history of crack use. His drug use and rampant cheating is what led to his wife, Khloe Kardashian, opting to push for a divorce back in 2013.
TMZ reports that a group of friends and family of Odom's went to his home to try and convince him to enter rehab, but he claimed he was just fine. A similar instance took place in 2013 when his crack use was also very bad.
When the group entered Odom's home, they found crack pipes and other drug items such as baggies all over the place. It's certainly a scary sign for Odom, who has already been spotted drinking at bars on numerous occasions.
Odom had been optimistic about making a return to the NBA and rekindling his relationship with Kardashian, but his demons will certainly keep him out of the league and Kardashian re-filed for divorce last week.
There were reports that Kardashian's decision to restart the divorce papers was over her desire to have kids, but Odom's alleged drug use certainly likely isn't helping things.
The reality star had halted her divorce proceedings after Odom's near-fatal overdose. Kardashian wanted to be able to make medical decisions for the ex-NBA star and support him emotionally and financially after he nearly lost his life.
Kardashian has since been linked romantically to Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr, but she downplayed it as them just being flirty.
The main concern now is for Odom's health going forward as he allegedly has fallen back into bad habits.
