Lamar Odom is having a tough time on his road to recovery after suffering an overdose last month, and doctors are concerned about his progress.

The NBA player is having difficulty with mobility and communication. A source told TMZ.com that Lamar’s only able to speak a few words every now and then. There’s also word that he seems to go completely blank at other times.

Although Lamar seemed to recognize Khloe when he first opened his eyes after he was found unresponsive in a Las Vegas brothel, he doesn’t recognize family and old friends when they come to see him at the hospital.

All of this has caused doctors to worry about the state of Lamar’s mind because they think he may have suffered severe brain damage during the medical incident.
