Lamar Odom, whose NBA career was derailed this summer amid allegations of drug use and personal turmoil, may be on his way back to the NBA.
Two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed that the 14-year veteran met with Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers and other members of the team's management group at the team's practice facility on Friday. The people spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the meeting.
The Clippers have an available roster spot and are believed to have serious interest in signing Odom, who played for them last season and had the worst season of his career (four points and 5.9 rebounds per game). His signing could happen in the coming days or perhaps even weeks, or – as one can imagine considering the context of his personal struggles – it may not come at all.
