Former NBA star Lamar Odom, who played for both the Los Angeles Clippers and the Lakers, is reportedly making progress in his recovery days after he was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel, The Los Angeles Times reports. Odom's condition improved enough for him to be transferred from Las Vegas to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, and Odom took a few steps after arriving in L.A. Monday night.
Though his recovery has been "miraculous," Odom still has a ways to go: A source told USA Today that he may need a kidney transplant after he reportedly suffered "several strokes and multiple organ failure."
