Thanks to an invitation from former teammate Kobe Bryant, ex-Laker Lamar Odom made an appearance Wednesday at the Staples Center, taking in a NBA game for the first time since his nearly fatal overdose in October.
The 36-year-old spent seven seasons with the Lakers, from 2004-2011, helping them earn back-to-back titles in the latter half of his tenure.

Odom appears to be in high spirits of late, as he was seen dancing in Kylie Jenner's Snapchat story earlier in the week.
Byron Scott on Lamar Odom at Staples Center tonight: "It is absolutely fantastic to see where he is now ...His recovery has been a miracle."
