Lamar Odom Moved To Private Rehab Facility

Former basketball star Lamar Odom left an L.A. hospital Wednesday and was moved to a private rehab facility set up by his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian, according to reports.

Odom had been receiving treatment at the Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles since shortly after he was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel on Oct. 13.

The 36-year-old retired Lakers forward was moved to a private facility near Kardashian’s home, Us Weekly reported Thursday. The secret move was made without notifying even Odom’s family in order to keep it under wraps.

The 6’ 10” Queens native fell into a coma after after reportedly using cocaine and herbal viagra during a four-day bender at the Love Ranch, about 80 miles northwest of Las Vegas in Oct.

He has struggled to regain basic motor functions, but his condition has improved and he has reportedly taken several steps with the help of a walker.

And Kardashian has remained by his side throughout his ordeal.

Odom’s teenage son, Lamar Odom Jr., posted a selfie on Instagram earlier this month with him and his sister, Destiny Odom.

“Christmas with my pops,” Lamar Jr. wrote in the post. “Here’s to 2016. Blessed.”

JaNean Mercer, Odom’s aunt and family spokeswoman released a statement about the move.

“It is with extreme gratitude and appreciation to all of you around the world, who have prayed without ceasing for Lamar, that we announce his transition to the next stage of his miraculous recovery at a new facility,” Mercer said. “Lamar continues to make remarkable strides and we are asking that you continue to respect our privacy. Again we thank all of you greatly, your support has been paramount in helping to uplift us during these past few difficult months.”
