Is Lamar Odom turning to heroin after the death of his two close friends and upon learning that Khloe Kardashian is dating Houston Rockets player James Harden?
Life & Style reported that the former basketball star purportedly relapsed during a stay at a Best Western in LA about two months before his friend Jamie Sangouthai died in June from an infection allegedly contracted through IV drug use.
They purportedly left behind traces of black tar heroin, straws and burnt tinfoil.
"Lamar left for Las Vegas in mid-May, and he's been regularly getting high," a friend reportedly said. "His friends are scared that he'll wind up like his friend Bobby Heyward and Jamie."
According to reports, Khloe Kardashian has been Lamar Odom's rock after the death of Jamie Sangouthai and Bobby Heyward. Some even speculated that they would take another chance at a relationship after spending a lot of time together.
However, Khloe Kardashian apparently isn't considering any chances at a romantic relationship with Lamar. Intead, she seems to be interested in another NBA player - James Harden with whom she was spotted with in Las Vegas this holiday weekend.
"Khloe, James, and his famous beard were spotted leaving dinner Saturday night at Red 8, a fancy Asian restaurant in the Wynn," TMZ reported. "Vegas sources tell us they looked very couple-y -- snuggling side by side during the meal. After dinner they went to Drai's Nightclub for Chris Brown's performance."
