Lakers F Odom out Sunday
Jan 11, 2009 - 4:55 PM LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom, who has been nursing an injured right knee, will miss Sunday's game against the Miami Heat.Odom, Los Angeles' top reserve, has missed the last two games due to a bone bruise in his knee.
Odom told the Los Angeles Daily News that he still cannot jump, run or start and stop effectively due to the injury, which he suffered in Tuesday's game against New Orleans.
"It doesn't have the strength I want it to have," Odom told the newspaper. "I can play with pain. My life is painful. I'm living it. ... So, a knee? It's not ready. It's not stable enough."
A 10-year veteran, Odom is averaging a career-worst 8.8 points and 6.1 rebounds in 33 games - 32 off the bench - this season.
