The only update surrounding former National Basketball Association (NBA) cager Lamar Odom right now is that he continues to miraculously improve, although much of the progress many are talking about are the same ones mentioned before 2015 came to an end.

Right now, the only thing that may be worth noting is that Odom has already been released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and is now in the care of a private rehab facility situated near the home of the Kardashians.

Estranged wife Khloé Kardashian was the one who made the necessary arrangements, a setup that she preferred over having Odom at her home since she didn't want their house to be transformed into a hospital-like setting.

Odom was spotted for the first time as well when he was driven around by his aunt, JaNean Mercer, as reported by ET Online. It was the first time that Odom was seen (conscious) in public since being discovered lifeless last October 2015 at a Las Vegas brothel.

But while seeing him up and about is a good sign, it still remains that Odom has health issues. That includes having a hard time communicating and recognizing family and close friends, something believed to be tied up with suspected brain damage from that drug overdose, as reported by TMZ.

Kardashian is sticking by her word to stay by Odom's side through this ordeal, no matter how long it takes. But that doesn't mean she will be giving up her relationship with Houston Rockets star James Harden.

There were rumors of possible separation between the TV reality star and the NBA baller when the two have been hardly seen together as of late. Kardashian cleared the air and shared that Harden has been busy with his NBA schedule, but they do see each other when possible.

"It's all about 'making the effort' and 'juggling time,'" Kardashian said via the Daily Mail.
