Los Angeles (AFP) - Basketball star Lamar Odom, who was found unconscious after a drug overdose at a Nevada brothel, will continue his "miraculous" recovery at a new rehab facility, his family said.

A statement released on behalf of the former Los Angeles Lakers star's aunt JaNean Mercer and Odom's relatives said the family have been through a very tough time.

"Your support has been paramount in helping to uplift us during these past few difficult months," the brief statement said.
