On Wednesday, Lamar Odom attended his first Los Angeles Lakers game since his near-death incident at the Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nev last October.

According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, former Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant was the one who left two courtside tickets for Odom. As you may recall, when the news of Odom's incident surfaced, Bryant immediately left a preseason game to visit Lamar in the hospital.  

Odom, who appeared to be in good spirits, was spotted hugging and speaking with Lakers president Jeanie Buss.

As expected, Odom received a nice ovation when he appeared on the Jumbotron.
