Former NBA star Lamar Odom is slowly but surely recovering from a possible cocaine overdose. Last month, he was found unresponsive at a Las Vegas brothel and his condition was horrible, got better, got worse again and now as he goes through physical therapy, there are some troubling reports of his extensive brain damage.
Now it appears that Odom might have more bad news coming his way. He could be facing felony drug charges for his incident in Las Vegas.

Prosecutors are considering a felony drug charge against Lamar Odom after the former NBA star was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel.
Nye County District Attorney Angela Bello said Monday that the sheriff’s office submitted the potential charge last week, and a prosecutor is considering filing a count of unlawful use of cocaine or being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Bello declined to discuss details of what is expected to be a weeks-long investigation by her office.
Authorities investigating a possible cocaine overdose by Odom got a warrant on Oct. 13 to take a blood sample while he was hospitalized in critical condition after a weekend at the Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada.
