Former NBA champion Lamar Odom was arrested Saturday on suspicion of DUI in Las Vegas, authorities confirmed Tuesday. Nevada Highway Patrol pulled him over on Interstate 15 near Harry Reid International Airport for alleged excessive speed and failure to maintain his lane. The 46-year-old was briefly held at a Clark County jail before being released.

Odom’s latest legal issue echoes a 2013 DUI arrest in Los Angeles, a turbulent period that also included his high-profile divorce from Khloe Kardashian. A two-time champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, his post-career struggles have often made headlines, including a 2015 medical emergency at a Nevada brothel.

The incident adds to Odom’s complicated legacy beyond his 14-year NBA career with the Lakers, Clippers, Heat, and Mavericks. While no charges have been formally filed yet, the arrest underscores ongoing personal challenges for the former All-Star. Fans and observers will watch for any official statements from his representatives.
