Former NBA player Lamar Odom, 46, was arrested in Las Vegas on January 17 on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI). He faces misdemeanor charges for DUI, driving over 41 mph above the speed limit, and improper lane changes.
Odom was subsequently released and is scheduled for a court hearing on March 17. This incident occurs as Odom has been open about his past struggles with addiction and a near-fatal overdose in 2015, which led to severe health consequences including multiple heart attacks and strokes. He has detailed these experiences in his memoir "Darkness to Light" and the documentary "Lamar Odom: Reborn." Recently, Odom reconciled with his ex-wife Khloé Kardashian in a 2025 episode of "The Kardashians," reflecting on the end of their marriage.
