Basketball star Lamar Odom reportedly wants to bounce from his marriage to Khloé Kardashian Odom.
The Queens-bred baller - now battling rumors of a crack addiction and formally charged with DUI on Friday after an Aug. 30 arrest in Los Angeles - hasn't spoken to his wife in days and seems content living on his own, unidentified friends of Khloé told People magazine.

"The whole situation is so sad," one friend told People. "She wants to save her marriage, but Lamar doesn't, and he's not in his right mind to do so. So what can Khloé do?"
The NBA free agent is now living solo in an apartment in downtown Los Angeles. According to celebrity website TMZ.com, Khloé kicked him out of their marital mansion with an ultimatum - kick crack or don't come back.

"I believe Lamar is the one who wants out [of the marriage]. It's not looking good," a longtime Kardashian family friend told People in the story posted online Monday.
"They're separated for the moment," a third source told People. "Khloé is spending many nights at her mom's house and Lamar is at his place downtown."

Khloé hasn't commented publicly on her husband's reported drug problem but is keeping up her presence on social media.
The reality TV star and sister of Kim Kardashian posted a glamour shot on Instagram Monday with the caption, "Love yourself for a lifetime rather than a moment."

Lamar, meanwhile, is due in court Sept. 27 for his DUI arraignment.
He declined drug and alcohol testing after cops pulled him over around 4 a.m. Aug. 30 for driving too slow in a "serpentine manner" on a major freeway.

Odom previously stated that his father was a heroin addict and that he's struggled with his own demons. He was suspended in 2001 for twice violating the NBA's anti-drug policies.
The 6-foot-10 player won two NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2010 and 2011 but now is a free agent after spending last season with the Los Angeles Clippers.

His agent said last month that Lamar hasn't given up on his pro career.
"Playing in the NBA is still very much a part of Lamar's plans," agent Jeff Schwartz said in a statement.
