Surgery for Odom


Not that this will come as a huge shock to anyone, but Lamar Odom will have surgery tomorrow to repair the torn labrum in his left shoulder. As I'm sure most of you know, Odom was playing through substantial pain late in the season. A timetable for Odom's return likely will be announced after the surgery tomorrow, but under normal circumstances he should be fine for training camp. Dr. Lewis Yocum will perform the surgery.

Dang. I certainly wish him the best of luck. And some very nice pain pills if necessary.

My prayers are with LO and his family.... if you have never gone through surgery, its pretty intense. Can this guy endure any more sh!t in a year?

i hope he has a breakout season..
if he is still on our team, as he should be... but with desperation for change i see us doing stupid moves and possibly being worse than last year.

[MJ(Mean John)]

i hope we dont move him....
i love lamar.
imo he is so under-rated
we need lamar
he fits perfect with kobe's game and personality.
i see him having a break out year next season. I see a Healthy lamar averaging 20 10 6
lakers need to tear the league up
24/7

I wish Wade a full recovery too! Even thou I don't like him, hate to see a good player go down. But it's also a reason why Kobe don't drive as much, consistently going to the hole take years off you game. IMO
