Lam-Lam's back, y'all!

Khloé Kardashian Odom's pro basketball hubby Lamar Odom is back on the Dallas Mavericks after taking time off to tend to his ill father, Joe, and being temporarily reassigned to play for the Mavericks' D-league affiliate team, the Texas Legends.

The Dallas Mavericks, who scored the 6'10" forward back in December, announced Saturday they've recalled the 12-year pro back to the team, where he's expected to suit up for tonight's game against the Utah Jazz.

The Khloé & Lamar star, who has played 32 games with the Dallas team and is averaging 7.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 21.4 minutes, recently missed out on a total of four games, including facing off against former ex-brother-in-law Kris Humphries and former teammates the Lakers. 

As for Lamar's father's health? Joe reportedly told RadarOnline, "I'm doing a lot better. But I'm depressed right now. I'm getting some rest."
