In what has already been a terrible week for forward Lamar Odom, there is one more lowlight: Odom was arrested on a DUI charge early Friday morning in California.

Earlier this week, a slew of reports alleged that Odom had been battling drug addiction, and that his family—including wife and reality TV star Khloe Kardashian—had been unable to locate him. Odom was photographed with Kardashian earlier this week, and his agent, Jeff Schwartz, told multiple media outlets that Odom’s whereabouts were, in fact, known.

While the reports of Odom’s drug issues remain merely allegations, the reported DUI would be a very real problem for Odom. He was arrested at 3:54 a.m. after driving too slow on California’s 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley, and failed multiple field sobriety tests.

As Odom’s personal life continues to crumble, his hopes of rejuvenating his professional life are getting dimmer and dimmer. It was only two seasons ago that Odom was named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year with the Lakers, but after leaving L.A. in 2011, Odom flamed out in Dallas, averaging 6.6 points and 35.2 percent shooting and ending the year with the Mavericks essentially kicking him off the team. He signed with the Clippers last year and averaged 4.0 points on 39.9 percent shooting.

Odom is a free agent this summer, and though a handful of teams—including the Lakers—expressed some interest in him, there is little chance that anyone will pick him up now.

“I would say he is beyond toxic at this point,” one general manager told Sporting News. “Just going by what he is giving you on the court, he would have been a risk anyway, maybe someone you give a partial guarantee to just to see if he can turn things around. But with the circus that’s around him off the court now, no way. I think that’s the end of Lamar Odom in the NBA. It’s a shame.”

For now, Odom is apparently facing much more important challenges in his personal life. Kardashian told her husband on Aug. 21 that he needs to get help for his addiction or get out. But for those who have closely followed his professional life, it’s a potentially sad end to what was a very productive career, one that included two championships with the Lakers.

Operation Confidence prayers goes out to Lamar, a very nice guy who today has many challenges.

David Bruce Cassidy is an American actor, singer, songwriter and guitarist and was widely known for his role as Keith Partridge in the 1970s musical/sitcom The Partridge Family. He was one of pop culture's celebrated teen idols, and enjoyed a successful pop career in the 1970s. 

Cassidy was one of the contestants on Celebrity Apprentice 2011,^[1] in which his daughter Katie Cassidy made a brief appearance at her father's request.

On Wednesday, The Partridge Family" star David Cassidy was arrested for driving while intoxicated in upstate New York.

Schodack Police Officer Tom Jones was conducting a DWI check when he stopped Cassidy early on Aug. 21 outside Albany, according to the Times Union. District Attorney Richard McNally said when the officer introduced himself, the singer said, "What's up, pussycat?" referencing "What's New Pussycat?," a song by singer Tom Jones.

The 63-year-old, who spends part of his summer in the upstate New York region but lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .10 percent, the Times Union reported. The legal limit in New York is .08. Cassidy was arrested and charged with felony DWI due to a prior conviction. He was sent to the Rensselaer County Jail and released on $2,500 bail.

ABC Albany's WTEN reported the actor was driving a rental car and had been visiting friends with his fiance before he was pulled over.

The Schodack police chief said he "cooperated and was a gentleman."

The '70s star's stepmother, singer Shirley Jones, recently said Cassidy is "a troubled man who has demons he's been struggling to conquer," per TMZ.

Cassidy was arrested for DUI back in 2010 after he failed a sobriety test in Florida when he blew a .14 BAC. Police found a half-empty bottle of bourbon under the seat of his Mercedes. He also admitted to the officer he had taken a Vicodin pill three hours earlier.
