ODOM RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL

LAMAR

Lamar Odom was released from a Las Vegas hospital Monday and was scheduled to return to Los Angeles later that night to continue his dramatic recovery process at a hospital here, The Times has confirmed.

Odom, who played for the Lakers and Clippers over a 14-year NBA career, was found unconscious at a brothel in rural Nevada a week ago and was transported to Las Vegas, where he was hospitalized in extremely critical condition.

The Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nev., said workers saw him drink alcohol and take supplements sold as “herbal Viagra.” He regained consciousness and communicated for the first time Friday.

Odom, 35, was most likely going to stay at the home of his estranged wife, reality TV star Khloe Kardashian, according to a person not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Odom’s aunt, JaNean Mercer, told the Associated Press earlier Monday that he was alert and his condition was improving, and that he was overcoming “insurmountable obstacles” and defying the odds.
