Lamar Odom announces his return to basketball

Former NBA star Lamar Odom announced his comeback on Instagram Thursday.

“I will be playing in China,” Odom wrote. “Thanks lord for giving me another chance in life and thank you fans for your the love and support during all those hard years. Never give up on yourself and keep believing that only god can create the miracles you're hoping for.”

Odom had a 15-year professional basketball career before taking a four-year break. During that break, Odom was found unconscious in 2016 at a brothel in Nevada. In 2017, Odom entered a rehab facility for substance abuse.
