NBA legend Lamar Odom was asked to vacate his LA home: Here's why
Lamar Odom, the two-time NBA champion and former Los Angeles Lakers star, has been ordered to vacate a property in Studio City, Los Angeles County, after allegedly failing to pay several months' rent.
The NBA legend earned a reported $114 million over his 14-year NBA career and has been sued by Executive Recovery Group, Inc., the home's landlord, for failing to pay $45,000 in back rent.
The court ruled in favour of the landlord after Odom reportedly did not respond to the initial lawsuit. On 28 April, a judge officially ordered him to leave the home and hand over possession of the property.

Odom allegedly entered into a month-to-month oral rental agreement with the company in December 2023, agreeing to pay $15,000 per month in rent. The lawsuit claims he failed to make payments from 1 January through 31 March. So, Executive Recovery Group took legal action, also seeking reimbursement for legal fees and additional damages based on the 'fair rental value' of $500 per day.
Notably, Odom was served a three-day notice to pay or vacate the property on 11 March. The complaint detailed that the notice was physically posted on the home. A copy of the notice was also mailed to him on 12 March after no one 'of suitable age or discretion' was found at the property.
Interestingly, the property is tied to Montare Behavioural Health's 'Montare on the Hill,' a residential mental health treatment centre. The lawsuit indicates Odom was supposed to direct rent payments to 'Montage Recovery CA LLC c/o Elliott Liebhard.'
Meanwhile, Odom has reportedly remained sober since his near-fatal overdose in 2015 at a Nevada brothel. Recently, he even launched a meme coin called $ODOM: 'the world's first Meme coin with a mission to combat drug abuse.'

Drafted fourth overall in the 1999 NBA Draft, Odom played for the Clippers, Lakers, Heat, and Mavericks during his storied career, spending most of his time alongside Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles.

Brian Windhorst reveals how close the Minnesota Timberwolves came to landing Kevin Durant before the 2025 NBA trade deadline
ESPN's Brian Windhorst stated that the Minnesota Timberwolves were just a few steps away from trading for Kevin Durant during the 2025 NBA trade deadline. Unfortunately, the deal did not happen because of problems with the salary cap, especially the second apron rules. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Now that the offseason is here and the team will likely make changes, the Timberwolves can resume their effort to get LeBron James. Minnesota Timberwolves' offseason maneuvers could pave the way for a Kevin Durant acquisition In February 2025, the Minnesota Timberwolves made a genuine effort to acquire Kevin Durant, but the fact that both teams were above the NBA's second tax apron made it almost impossible to make a move mid-season. Windhorst highlighted how serious Minnesota was in their pursuit, mentioning, "It became clear to me, in talking to the parties involved, just how serious the Wolves were about trying to trade for Durant at the trade deadline. " Looking forward, the Timberwolves' financial situation might get a boost if key players like Julius Randle and Naz Reid decide to opt out of their contracts. This could potentially lower the team under the second apron, lifting some trade limitations. Windhorst observed, "Getting it done was impossible because they are two second apron teams. But after both of [Randle and Naz Reid] opt out, the Wolves will not be a second apron team. " Tim Connelly's approach involves taking major risks, like getting Rudy Gobert and swapping Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo in 2022. He may be in line for a big new deal. If Connelly keeps working with the team, his record suggests he'll make bold trades to strengthen the roster. Durant's future with the Phoenix Suns seems up in the air. Windhorst puts the odds at 98% that Durant will be traded this offseason. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He and his business partner, Rich Kleiman, are said to be working with the Suns to find a new team, and the Houston Rockets are also showing interest. The idea of Durant teaming up with Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is super interesting. They really hit it off during the Paris Olympics, and it seems Durant is considering a move to Minnesota. Also Read: With their past interest in Kevin Durant and some potential salary cap wiggle room, the Minnesota Timberwolves are definitely a team to watch this offseason. By making clever roster choices and having a forward-thinking front office, they could become serious players in the race for Durant.

NBA All-star Zion Williamson faces civil lawsuit alleging rape and years of abuse
NBA star Zion Williamson is at the center of a civil lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, where a woman identified as his ex-girlfriend(Jane Doe) accuses him of rape , physical assault, and a prolonged pattern of abuse spanning from 2018 to 2023. The plaintiff claims their relationship began during Williamson's freshman year at Duke University and continued into his professional career with the New Orleans Pelicans . Allegations in the lawsuit The lawsuit outlines two specific instances of alleged rape occurring in September and October 2020 at a Beverly Hills residence rented by Williamson during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first incident, the plaintiff alleges that after expressing a desire to sleep, Williamson insisted on sex , subsequently pinning her down and assaulting her. She further claims he threw her phone across the room and choked her. Live Events The second incident reportedly involved Williamson becoming angry when she mentioned visiting a friend, leading to another alleged assault and the confiscation of her phone and laptop. Beyond these events, the plaintiff accuses Williamson of ongoing abuse, including strangulation to the point of unconsciousness, physical beatings, threats involving a firearm, and coercive control tactics such as taking her personal belongings without consent. She asserts that these actions occurred across multiple states, including California, Louisiana, and Texas, until their relationship ended in 2023. Williamson's response Williamson's legal team has categorically denied all allegations, describing them as "false and reckless." His attorneys assert that the relationship was consensual and casual, ending years ago, and claim that the plaintiff only raised concerns after the relationship concluded. They allege that she began demanding millions of dollars and that Williamson reported these alleged extortion attempts to law enforcement, resulting in an arrest warrant. Williamson intends to file counterclaims seeking significant damages for defamation. Legal proceedings and public reaction The plaintiff is seeking a jury trial, along with exemplary and punitive damages for the alleged abuse and emotional distress. Her attorney emphasized the seriousness of the case, stating, "We and our client do not want to litigate this case in the press. These are very serious allegations." The New Orleans Pelicans organization has acknowledged the lawsuit but declined to comment, deferring to Williamson's legal team. Williamson, the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft and a two-time All-Star, has faced previous controversies in his personal life. Despite injury struggles, he has maintained a notable NBA career with the Pelicans.
