The skeletons are starting to fly out of Lamar Odom‘s closet. Allegedly, Khloe Kardashian’s hubby was using hard drugs while he was playing for the Dallas Mavericks and possible while on the Los Angeles Lakers.

TMZ reports:

Sources connected to a Westin hotel in Memphis tell TMZ … in March of 2012, shortly before Lamar was cut from the Mavs, he stayed in one of the guest rooms while his team was in town playing the Grizzlies.  

Our sources say when Lamar left, hotel employees found major carpet damage … including quarter-sized burn marks. The damage was so bad, the hotel had to replace the carpeting in the room. 

Our sources say hotel employees also found white powder on the desk blotter and the room reeked of noxious smoke.  Our sources say it was obvious there was serious drug use going on in the hotel room.  

The Westin is one of numerous hotels where NBA players stay when they’re on the road. TMZ has contacted a number of these hotels in various cities. We’ve learned from several hotel employees … they had complained about the state of the rooms when Lamar left — similar to what happened in Memphis — and this was while he was playing for the Lakers.  

According to other sources, Odom was smoking cocaine and Oxycontin.

 

Odom’s stint with the Dallas Mav was a wash. He eventually parted way with the team but many blamed suspect play not on drugs but his heart not being in playing for Dallas.

The Queens native’s friends and family have been urging Odom to enroll in a drug rehab facility.
