Lamar Odom is staying in a Los Angeles hotel while he tries to get help for an unspecified drug problem, ESPN reported Monday.

Earlier Monday, Odom's agent refuted a report that his client was missing.

"Lamar is not missing. His wife knows exactly where he is," Jeff Schwartz told ESPN.

On Sunday, TMZ reported that Odom had been missing for 72 hours following a dispute with his wife, Khloe Kardashian. TMZ also reported that Odom was involved with drugs, according to sources close to the player.

Odom's agent told ESPN Odom still has aspirations to play in the NBA. Odom spent last season, his 14th in the league, with the Clippers where he averaged a career-low four points per game. He played for the Mavericks in 2011-12 after seven season with the Lakers.
