- Published
Khloe Kardashian's ex-husband and two-time NBA champion Lamar Odom has been released from hospital.
He was admitted in October after being found unconscious at a brothel.
A statement released by his aunt said he was released from the hospital earlier in the week and taken to what is described as a "private facility".
She said his family are proud of his "miraculous and continued improvement" and it's being reported that he has been taken to a rehab centre.
"Lamar continues to make remarkable strides," the family statement said.
His aunt, Alvina Alston, said that it's been a tough time for the family and thanked those who reached out to the sportsman.
"Your support has been paramount in helping to uplift us during these past few difficult months."
The basketball star was placed on a life-support machine after he was discovered unconscious at a legal brothel outside Las Vegas.
He told employees at the Love Ranch that he had taken cocaine beforehand and was described as being unresponsive with blood coming from his nose and mouth.
His estranged wife, reality television star Khloe Kardashian, raced to his bedside with members of her family and continues to be involved in his medical care.
She may have supported him through his recent troubles but she told Twitter followers that she was still planning to go through with a divorce.
