Lamar's former college basketball coach and close friend, Jim Harrick, spoke with USA Today, and told that it might take six months for the basketball player to rehabilitate. "There is a long road ahead to rehabilitation," Harrick said during a phone conversation with the publishing. "This is serious stuff. It could be six months or more for rehab and all that. We don't know what state his kidneys and lungs are going to be in," he added.
"I just want him to get right and have a long and happy life," the coach finally added.
Lamar was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel, and was taken to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas. His estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, rushed to his side, after hearing about his critical condition, and has been making all the medical decisions on his behalf.
The couple decided to call off their almost finalized divorce, and according to TMZ, Khloe has threatened Lamar that she'll be gone forever, if he went back to his old ways. According to a source close to the 31-year-old reality star, Khloe is ready to relaunch the divorce petition, if Lamar does drugs again.
