Lamar Odom exits Vitoria

Lamar OdomLamar Odom (208 cm, Rhode Island´99) has left Laboral Kutxa Vitoria (Spain, Lige Endesa and Euroleague) after his contract was waived. After one game with the team in the league and poor averages of 2.0 points and 1.0 rebound the forward departs. The former reality TV star also featured in one Euroleague game but did not offer any numbers.

Despite the stay in Vitoria not going as planned, Lamar Odom insists it was injury that brought his stint with the Spanish team to a close.

“It is something that is beyond my control. I have to be responsible and take care of the injury. I want to take it very seriously and with pride. Journey is not over, so I have to take care of this injury and what I do here, but I’m representing Baskonia and what I want is to try to get back on the field and give a good show to the people of Vitoria . I do it with integrity and pride. I want to do it without damage to either the club or the team, or me”

The American spent the first half of the season looking for a position in the NBA, but he was welcoming of the possibility of returning to Vitoria when he recovers from his injury.

“I think everything happens for a reason and now in Vitoria and Baskonia I have a home waiting for me. It’s a place where I will always be eager to return. I would like to return to the team as soon as possible, treating this injury and be strong for prove on the field that I feel better “
