It was recently announced that Lamar Odom was cut from Ice Cube's BIG3 League along with Baron Davis, Jermaine O'Neal, and Bonzi Wells over concern for their ability to compete in the league. In light of the news, Lamar Odom took to Instagram to share his disappointment in the decision, and he revealed that he learned of the news on social media.

Odom wrote, "As most of you have heard, the @thebig3 decided to deactivate me for the remainder of the 2019 season. I respect @icecube & the other league executives, however, I am extremely disappointed with the way that this has been handled. Besides the embarrassment, it’s disappointing to read on IG that this decision had been made, especially without sharing it with myself or my manager. Only after I heard from the media, I was then told that the big boys cutting checks decided that they had to deactivate me with no real specific explanation." 

He continued, "TMZ apparently did manage to get a clear answer from Ice Cube, 'my health was their concern.' I have been 100% transparent about my condition before signing the contract, but at that point it wasn't an issue. I was told after game #1 that I had been given extra time to get stronger. I have been working hard daily to get in better game shape. The willingness & intent has always been there to play. The Rhode Island game that is happening tomorrow was the game I have been looking forward to the most as many people know that this is where it all started for me. I am aware that at some point in life we have to accept & surrender to what God has planned or not planned for us — so I am staying positive. I worked very hard to make a comeback in my life & no rejection can stop me."
