That same night, Khloe Kardashian, Lamar's former wife, rushed to the athlete's side. The two filed for divorce earlier this year, but it has not been finalized yet until now, which forces Khloe to make medical decisions for Lamar. According to Us Magazine, Khloe is "inconsolable."
Kim Kardashian-West and Kris Jenner joined Khloe at the Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas for support. It was also reported that Lamar's teammate Kobe Bryant visited him.
Lance Bass, a close friend of the Kardashian matriarch, said that "the family is devastated," during his interview at "The Meredith Vieira Show," as reported by the NY Daily News. Lance said Kris continued to stay in touch with Lamar, despite being separated with Khloe. "Kris loves him so much, and she was the one that would just call him so much and stay in touch and make sure that he's OK," Lance added.
Other members of the Kardashian family send their prayers to Lamar via social media. Kourtney Kardashian, the eldest of the family, posted a pic of Lamar with her son, which is captioned "Believing in the power of prayer for this beautiful soul." Kendall Jenner, Khloe's half-sifter, also tweeted, "Please don't go," in regard to Lamar's health crisis. Rob Kardashian also posted a photo of him and Lamar on his Instagram account saying, "Praying nonstop for my Brother !!"
According to recent updates, Lamar is still in a coma.
