The news that Lakers star and Khloe Kardashian’s ex Lamar Odom was hospitalized after collapsing at a brothel outside of Las Vegas was met with an outpouring of support from his teammates, friends, and other celebrities on social media, who took the opportunity to share messages of hope that Lamar is able to quickly recover.
One of the immediate examples of well-wishes came from former teammate Dwyane Wade, who took multiple tweets to explain how close he still feels to Lamar, encouraging others to have sympathy for the athlete. Wade’s wife, Gabrielle Union, didn’t add her own words, but retweeted a few of Wade’s supportive messages.
PRAYERS all the way UP for my brother Lamar Odom!!!

And even though Lamar is not mentioned by name in this short message from Kendall Jenner, it’s clearly in reference to her former brother-in-law.
please don’t go.
— Kendall (@KendallJenner) October 14, 2015
The rest of her family hasn’t spoken up via social media, though People reports that at least ex-wife Khloe Kardashian is by Lamar’s side in the hospital.
