Odom Is Hurting, but He’s Still Playing

Lamar Odom said Friday he will keep playing despite his injured right wrist, but wondered “if I’m hurting the team” by staying in the lineup.

“I can’t pass as well [or] catch the ball as well,” said Odom, who injured a ligament in the wrist Dec. 16 against Detroit. “I’m hurt but I’m not injured; there’s a difference. I can play with pain.”
