Lamar Odom 'won't be re-signed by the L.A. Clippers' after allegations of crack cocaine

Lamar Odom will not return to his team following allegations of 'crack cocaine abuse,' according to reports.

TMZreports the 33-year-old basketball star will remain a free agent for the moment after the Clippers 'refused to re-sign him.'

NBA sources told the website that they had wanted to re-sign Lamar over the summer but he was 'nearly impossible to reach.'

Despite the team still being interested, no progress was made on contract discussions, and they officially broke down following reports of Lamar's alleged drug abuse, say the website.

TMZ reports that the team have now 'closed the book on a new deal permanently,' and have instead signed former L.A. Lakers forward to replace Lamar - meaning their team roster is now full. 

Time is now said to be 'running out' for Lamar to sign a contract with another team, and reports that he is abusing crack cocaine and Oxycontin will not help his case.
