Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian West, Kendall Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian have all visited Lamar Odom at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas.

According to sources who spoke to Radar Online, Khloe believes that her recent relationship with Odom 's former colleague, James Harden, is to blame for his strange behavior leading up to his collapse at the Nevada brothel.

Yet, Bosh hopes to continue his career while using blood-thinning medication like other athletes have, including MLB pitcher Dennis Boyd, NHL defenseman Kimmo Timonen, NHL winger Tomas Fleischmann, NHL center Steven Stamkos and Premier League defender Phil Jones. So, there’s a silver lining in Bosh’s case, but nothing is definite when dealing with this type of treatment. The only way for Bosh to get to another team would be for the Heat to release him, which is unlikely unless he’s willing to negotiate a buyout of his contract in which he accepts significantly less money.
