Former Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom was reportedly involved in an altercation where multiple shots were fired, according to TMZ Sports. No one was hurt and the police were called to the scene.

Odom and his group were at a Hooters in Queens, NY late on July 20 when the altercation took place. Exactly what happened that led to the altercation is unclear, but it doesn't appear that Odom or his group did anything wrong.

Police are still searching for the shooter.

UPDATE: Odom just took to Twitter to clear up what actually happened that night, saying that he was just around the scene and was not in any way involved.

The 38-year-old last played in the NBA in 2013. He's had his fair share of off-the-court issues following his retirement, but this doesn't seem to be anything other than bad luck and being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Odom's NBA career is certainly over, but he's flirted with the idea of playing overseas or possibly even in the BIG3. Odom was always a dynamic all-around player. The two-time NBA champion won the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2011. He was a key factor off the bench for the Lakers teams that won titles in 2009 and 2010.

The point forward was a force on the glass and could fill up the scoring sheet on any given night. His best performance in a Lakers uniform may have come in a Game 5 playoff victory over the Utah Jazz in 2009, where he went off for 26 points on 10-for-15 shooting from the floor while adding in 15 rebounds. That game secured the series victory and the Lakers would eventually go on to win an NBA championship.
