Former NBA star Lamar Odom woke up and spoke for the first time since he was found unresponsive at a brothel in Nevada, sources say.
Odom was hospitalized Tuesday after he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch, where he had been holed up since Saturday.
After being unresponsive for days, Odom said “hi” to his estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, a source with knowledge of the situation said Friday.
It was unclear whether he remained conscious or how long he was awake.
Odom’s college coach, Jim Harrick, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that Kardashian told him she reached down to Odom on Friday and told him she loved him. Odom blinked, he said.
“He’s awake now,” Harrick said. “So that’s probably the most encouraging news we’ve had since it all started.”
Odom is using a mask to breathe and has serious damage to his vital organs, his former mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, told “Access Hollywood.”
