Former NBA star forward Lamar Odom announced that he will return to basketball and play in China.

Odom revealed the news via an Instagram post on Thursday, but did not disclose which team in China he will join.

In addition to his announcement, Odom thanked former NBA point guard and two-time NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury "for being my inspiration," presumably referring to Marbury's illustrious career not only in the NBA but also in the Chinese Basketball Association.

Marbury, who last played in the NBA during the 2008-2009 season for the Boston Celtics, enjoyed several seasons with the Beijing Ducks before retiring from the CBA this year after one season with the Beijing Fly Dragons.

Odom last played in the NBA in the 2012-13 season, when he appeared for the Los Angeles Clippers. He signed a contract with the New York Knicks in 2014, but was cut by the team before appearing in a game.

The 38-year-old had two NBA titles with the L.A. Lakers in 2010 and 2011. He won the NBA’s sixth man award during that second championship run.

After leaving the NBA, Marbury had a long and successful career in the Chinese Basketball Association.

Odom has struggled with drug addiction for years. In 2015, he was found unconscious with cocaine in his system in a Nevada brothel. He was unconscious on life support in a Las Vegas hospital before making an incredible recovery.
