After the Clippers landed in Los Angeles on Wedensday night to conclude an exhausting whirlwind trip to China, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan turned around and got on another plane that evening. They flew to Las Vegas to visit Lamar Odom.
"He probably has no idea we were there, but just to be there and to see him, hopefully he knows there's a lot of guys that love him and want to see him do better and want to see him get better," Griffin said before the Clippers' practiced Saturday.
Odom, who played alongside Griffin and Jordan on the Clippers in 2012-13, was hospitalized in Las Vegas after he was found unconscious Tuesday at a Nevada brothel after ingesting what officials said was a mashup of herbal sexual stimulants, cocaine and alcohol.
