Lamar Odom is captured driving a car after his agent denied report suggesting that he went missing. On Monday afternoon, August 26, Lamar was seen driving an SUV around San Fernando Valley area, which is not far from a house he shared with Khloe Kardashian.

In pictures obtained by TMZ, the NBA player was featured wearing a black shirt as he drove around the area. The photos are believed to be first photos of the athlete in few days.

The athlete recently was hit with rumors suggesting that his marriage with Khloe was in trouble because of his drug abuse. Lamar reportedly has been using drugs since two years ago. Khloe coaxed him to enroll in a rehab facility to cure his addiction last year. She even hired a guard to keep him in the facility, but he refused to continue the treatment after three weeks, according to reports.

Lamar apparently stayed clean during NBA competition, but he continued using drug after the games finished. Last week, the Kardashian family was said to have intervened in the issue, but Lamar rejected the idea of joining another rehab stint. The couple reportedly has lived separately.

"Lamar just keeps moving around, but he hasn't been home for a while. He and Khloe have basically been separated for weeks. If Lamar doesn't agree to go back to rehab, I bet Khloe's going to file for divorce," a source told X17Online. Khloe, however, reportedly "is more concerned about saving Lamar than ending her marriage."
