Cuban: Odom Just Has to Play ‘Hard’
Lamar Odom will return to the Mavs’ rotation after a one-game hiatus.
Odom will play against the Rockets. His role isn’t clear, but his job requirements are as simple as could be.
“He’s just got to play hard,” said owner Mark Cuban, who huddled with Odom in the corner of the visitors’ locker room at the Toyota Center for several minutes Saturday evening. “If he plays hard, good things will happen.”
Good things haven’t happened very often this season for Odom, who is averaging career lows almost across the board. How often has he actually played hard?
