Retired NBA Player

Lamar Odom’s DUI case in Las Vegas progressed toward a plea agreement after his scheduled bench trial was continued. Reporting from ESPN said he was expected to enter a no-contest plea that would reduce the original DUI charge to reckless driving, resolving the matter without an admission of guilt.

Lamar Odom entered a not guilty plea in Clark County in connection with his January 2026 DUI arrest in Las Vegas. Court records say he faces a DUI charge and two additional traffic offenses, including allegations that he drove more than 41 miles per hour over the limit and made an improper lane change. A bench trial was scheduled for July 7.

After completing rehab, Lamar Odom began traveling to meet with several college basketball programs to discuss potential coaching positions. He is advocating for the revival of the Triangle Offense, which he mastered under Phil Jackson with the Lakers, to help develop young players and aims to secure a role training the next generation of basketball talent.

Lamar Odom checked out of iRely Recovery in Los Angeles after completing a voluntary 30-day rehab program focused on addressing marijuana use following his January DUI arrest. Sources reported he is doing well and feeling amazing post-treatment, and he has launched a new business venture called HealLO.co, an AI-powered platform connecting people to wellness and treatment centers nationwide.

Lamar Odom was arrested in Las Vegas on January 17, 2026, and booked on a DUI charge after police pulled him over and detected a strong marijuana odor in his car. Odom admitted to smoking earlier that day but stated that neither alcohol nor narcotics contributed to the incident; he is scheduled to appear in Nevada court on March 17 to address the criminal case.
