Lamar Odom has quit playing for the Baskonia overseas basketball team after a spine injury.

According to Radar Online, Khloe Kardashian’s former husband has only played two games since his touchdown in Spain in February. Odum released a statement on his departure vowing to get better and remaining optimistic.

“This is something that is beyond my control. There’s a difference between a part of your body that’s hurt and a part of your body that’s injured. It’s up to me as a responsible athlete to — if I’m injured — to take care of it. I think everything happens for a reason.”

Doctors diagnosed Odom with Lumbar Radiculitis and will be on bedrest for up to two months. The player has returned back to the states to focus on his health.
