Even though various media reports are chronicling Lamar Odom’s struggle with substance abuse and the reported downfall of his marriage to Khloe Kardashian, the NBA star was seen out having a meal with a friend looking like he was in great spirits.
Odom was at Japanese restaurant Octopus in Los Angeles with a male friend, wearing his wedding ring and looking fine.
An onlooker says the Khloe & Lamar star was "very nice and polite,” also telling E! News he “seemed upbeat.”
The source said "He was in a good mood and did not seem down at all." The former Los Angeles Clippers star “even signed a fan's autograph. He was his normal self, nice and polite."
Odom reportedly checked into rehab last week but left just 24 hours later.
Odom’s wife, Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, Kardashian, hasn’t directly addressed the issues plaguing her husband, but did recently tweet, “I love you! Thank you for loving me!”
She’s also been posting selfies to Instagram, with her latest being captioned “White noise.”
