Lamar Odom is not missing, contrary to a previous report, but he is dealing with an unspecified drug problem, per ESPN.
ESPN reported on Monday that Odom is in a Los Angeles hotel room where friends are trying to get him help for an “unspecified drug problem.”
Odom’s agent Jeff Schwartz denied a TMZ report that said nobody was able to reach Odom for 72 hours. He says wife Khloe Kardashian knows where Odom is.
“Lamar is not missing. His wife knows exactly where he is.”
Schwartz also told ESPN that Odom, 33, still has plans to continue his NBA career. Odom played last season with the Los Angeles Clippers and is currently a free agent.
A report about Odom’s alleged drug problem first emerged on Friday night. The drug issue was cited as the reason for Odom’s marital problems with Kardashian. While one report said Odom was hooked on OxyContin and Ambien, another report said he was using crack and missing.
Odom was kicked out of the house by Kardashian last week, so it’s unsurprising to learn that he is staying at a hotel.
