Lakers F Odom returns from knee injury

Jan 14, 2009 - 2:50 AM HOUSTON (Ticker) -- Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom returned from a right knee injury in Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Odom, the Lakers' top reserve, has missed the last three games due to a bone bruise in the knee, which he injured in a 116-105 loss to the New Orleans Hornets last Tuesday.

One day later, he had an MRI that revealed the injury and also determined that the bruise was not serious enough to keep Odom out for an extended period of time.

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.
