Report: Lamar Odom signs in Spain

Lamar Odom's basketball career isn't over quite yet.

Odom has been off the court since an ill-fated stint in Spain in March, and failed to stick with the New York Knicks this offseason despite the presence of former coach Phil Jackson in the front office.

At age 35 and two seasons removed from his last NBA action, it appeared as if Odom's career may have been over. But he'll give it another try in Spain, signing with Bilbao Basket of the ACB League, according to reports out of Spain. The ACB league is the top league in Spain, where Bilbao is among the league's top teams.

It's unclear what Odom, who is still said to be working through a difficult divorce with Khloe Kardashian, can offer a basketball team, considering how long it's been since he played.

In 961 career NBA games over 14 seasons, he averaged 13.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists, but his numbers were far more humble in his final two seasons.
