Lamar Odom Out For Remainder Of Spanish Season With Back Injury

Mar 15, 2014 1:50 PM

Lamar Odom suffered a back injury after just two games in Spain with Baskonia.

Odom's personal doctors have ruled him unfit to play for two months, ending his season.

After a long layoff, Odom signed a two-month deal with Baskonia on Feb. 18.

"Lamar Odom as an athlete, he is a little embarrassed," Odom said. "But, at the same time, I am proud to be able to say that I am hurt and that I have a team that understands that I am injured and they are still supportive. That means a lot."

Baskonia said it would "leave the door open" to re-signing Odom when he recovers.

Saric: Best To Stay In Europe For Development

Mar 11, 2014 11:51 AM

Dario Saric will wait until after the current season to decide whether he will enter the NBA Draft, or possibly move from KK Cibona to either Turkey or Spain.

“I will not decide anything until the end of the season” said Saric. “In the summer I will determine my future. For my development the best is to stay in Europe but we’ll see what happens. I don’t even have an agent right now. I will talk with my family but I will make the final decision."

“There is not only Efes in the game. The other options are still Barcelona and Real Madrid” said Predrag Saric to 24Sata. “If Lorbek and Nachbar leaves Barcelona and if Mirotic leaves Real Madrid, they may have room for Dario” added the father of the player. “I think Dario should play in Europe two more seasons. He has to play. If he goes to a big club without guaranteed playing time, then it is better to stay with Cibona”
