Odom announced July 26 that he would continue his playing career in China during the upcoming season, but didn't disclose what team he will join, Amanda Christovich of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Odom last appeared on the court in 2014 for Saski Baskonia of the Spanish League and hasn't seen any NBA minutes since the 2012-13 campaign, when he was a member of the Clippers. Since that time, the 38-year-old has endured some well-publicized off-court hardships, including an incident in October 2015 that resulted in Odom being placed on life support after he was discovered unconscious at a brothel in Nevada. While it appears that Odom is now in a better place in life, his advanced age and significant health problems in recent years make it highly improbable that he'll ever play in the NBA again.

Knicks waive forward Lamar Odom. This could be it for Odom, as Phil Jackson knows his former pupil better than anybody and elected to pass. He'll be remembered for his insane versatility and also his inability to take charge as a No. 1 and sometimes No. 2 guy, but on the whole he was an extremely good player and we wish him well in his future endeavors.

Lamar Odom has been working out in Los Angeles but he's expected to join the Knicks at their practice facility by the end of June. Odom has been slowly getting into shape in L.A., while receiving physical therapy to overcome a back injury that ended his brief stint playing in Spain this season. "If he wants to put himself back together in a basketball life, he's got a chance to do this," said Phil Jackson. "Having a relationship with him, I figure this is a pretty good risk/reward situation for us." The 34-year-old Odom has a chance to salvage his career in New York, but fantasy owners should view him skeptically given his disastrous play since 2012.

Lamar Odom will begin his comeback attempt at the Knicks training facility on Monday. Odom signed on with the Knicks with one game left in the regular season, and he will now attempt to get into basketball shape in order to be ready for next year. After winning the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2011 Odom's play fell off a cliff, and he did not play at all last season due to alleged issues with crack. His contract is non-guaranteed, so there is little risk for the Knicks here. Odom was Phil Jackson's first player acquisition as acting president of basketball operations for the Knickerbockers.

Lamar Odom is expected to be in New York this week to work out. He signed with the Knicks on the last day of the season and has a team option for next season. The Knicks do need some depth, but Odom may have some impressing to do considering he's been out of the league all season. Odom is off the fantasy radar.

Knicks sign F Lamar Odom. Leave it to the Knicks to sign Odom on the last day of the season, but there is a team option for next year. Odom is from New York, but the vast majority of his career came in Los Angeles. He'll have his work cut out for him to get minutes next season. Odom will make $8,500 for the one game.

The Knicks are "weighing" whether to sign Lamar Odom before the regular season ends, according to Marc Stein. There has been reported mutual interest since Apr.5 and he could receive a team option on the possible contract. Odom had a really tough year and getting back in the NBA will probably help him get back on track. Obviously, fantasy owners shouldn't look to add him.

Free agent Lamar Odom has met twice with Knicks president Phil Jackson, according to the New York Post. Jackson is described as being on a "talent hunt" for players familiar with the triangle offense, and Metta World Peace is also on his radar. Odom is 34 years old and he could still mount a comeback despite a disastrous year, but he won't play this season. We'll have to wait until the summer to see how far Jackson can overhaul the Knicks' expensive roster.

Lamar Odom's contract with Laboral Kutxa in Spain was terminated after he left to rehab his ailing back in the U.S. for two months. Odom reportedly packed up all of his belongings before he left Spain, and his stint in Europe ended after just two on-court appearances and a grand total of six minutes in EuroBasket competition. It's safe to question whether Odom's playing days are over.

Lamar Odom is expected to sign with Laboral Kutxa. It's great to see Odom get his basketball career going again after a horrible offseason. He probably won't be back in the NBA again, but his story should be an interesting thing to monitor in Europe.
