Lamar Odom has fans concerned once again.

While the former Los Angeles Lakers basketball player has kept a low profile in recent weeks, that all changed Tuesday morning.

The athlete was headed to Manhattan last night on an evening Delta flight from Los Angeles International Airport when things got a little troubling. According to TMZ, Lamar was removed from the flight after reportedly throwing up on the plane. In addition, eyewitnesses told the outlet that Lamar was enjoying beer and whiskey at the Delta Sky Club before boarding his flight.

As of Tuesday evening, E! News can exclusively confirm that Lamar did in fact make his way to New York and was spotted in Queens shopping at a men's clothing store. 

Ultimately, his recent dramatic incident is one of a few warning signs that Lamar may not be living the healthiest lifestyle after his Las Vegas health scare in October 2015. Take a look back at the highs and lows the famous athlete has experienced in the past year alone.
