Lamar Odom is making his way into recovery, though it was reported that he's "struggling" to keep his body back in shape.

Back in October, Odom was found lying on the floor on a Las Vegas, Nevada brothel. As per NY Daily, the basketball star was found fighting for his life after he binged on drugs and alcohol. It was reported that his usage of an herbal substitute for Viagra may be the reason for his collapse, it is still unconfirmed.

After being in a coma for quite some time, Odom is on the road to recovery with the support of his wife (their divorce papers wasn't finalized before he was found unconcious)and the people close to him. As of the latest update in regards to his condition according to Cinebuzz, the NBA star is still under therapy at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center located in Los Angeles.

E! News reported that Odom is still struggling through his recovery. An insider told the E!: "He has not spoken in the halls during his therapy; It appears he can't walk on his own. He has a walker that he does short walks with the aid of therapists."

The source then added: "He always is struggling. I saw the other day he got tired after a short session in the walker and had to be transferred back to his wheel chair."

In relation to his recovery, Khloe Kardashian openly shared that it's quite a struggle for her as well. The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star opened up to Nathalie Morales's Today show. Kardashian shared that she's with Odom all throughout his recovery. She never left his side while he was in coma and did frequent visits after he was transferred to check on his status.

In an interview, Kardashian told Today host Nathalie Morales she felt terrified after getting a call that her Odom was found unresponsive on the brothel. He also added that she's the one being asked about his health decisions as to whether they would push through with the risky medical procedures or not.

"It's a horrible call to get," she told Natalie Morales. "Getting to the hospital and knowing he's in a coma and having to run these tests or make medical decisions. It's terrifying. You have to make risk-and-reward decisions, Like, OK, well, there's an 80 percent chance if we do this operation, he might pass away. But also if we don't do it, there's a 90 percent chance he'll pass away."
