Lamar Odom is missing, but what does it mean for LA Clippers title hopes?
LA Clippers basketball star Lamar Odom has disappeared for some 72 hours, with family and friends worried that he is out doing crack cocaine, according to the latest reports from entertainment news sites.
Odom Vanishes
According to Hollywood gossip site TMZ, Odom's wife Khloe Kardashian threw him out of the house last Wednesday after attempting an intervention which Lamar was not interested in. This followed reports that he had been battling crack cocaine addiction for two years and was reluctant to undergo rehab.
The latest from sources close to Odom and the Kardashians is that he has been out of contact for 72 hours, raising fears that he is hiding out and doing crack cocaine. If so, this would put a giant question mark not only on his marriage, but also over the fortunes of the Clippers, who are considered an NBA title threat.
Clippers Betting
The LA Clippers are currently eighth in bet365's line of 2013/14 NBA Title betting. The seven teams ahead of them are: Miami Heat 2/1, Oklahoma City Thunder 6/1, Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets 9/1, Houston Rockets 10/1, Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs 11/1.
33-year-old forward Odom played an important role off the bench for the Clippers in their run to the playoffs last year, averaging 4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game at an average of 19.7 minutes. His presence will be needed again this season if LAC are to be a contender.
