VITORIA, Spain -- Lamar Odoms brief venture into European basketball has been cut short by a back injury, according to his Spanish club.

Baskonia said on Saturday that Odoms personal doctors in New York have ruled him
unfit to play for two months, meaning he has "finished his present contract."
Odom had travelled to New York with Baskonias permission. Odom, a former
two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakes, signed a two-month deal with
the Basque team last month after being out of contract since the close of the
last NBA season. Odom thanked his new Spanish fans and said he still
"represents" Baskonia. "I am going to try and get back on the court and give you
guys a show," he told the club website. Odom, 34, looked rusty in his total of
23 minutes played in two games for Baskonia, scoring just two points.
"Lamar Odom as an athlete, he is a little embarrassed," Odom said. "But, at the
same time, I am proud to be able to say that I am hurt and that I have a team
that understands that I am injured and they are still supportive. That means a
lot." Baskonia said it would "leave the door open" to resigning Odom when he
recovers. This marks another bump in a rough year for the power forward, who
averaged a career-low 4.0 points and 5.9 rebounds last season with the Los
Angeles Clippers. He was arrested for drunken driving last summer before getting
divorced from wife Khloe Kardashian, who he starred with in a reality television
show, in December.

coach Bill Self told Wayne Selden Jr.PRETORIA, South Africa - Oscar Pistorius
must pay for what hes done and his apology to the family of the girlfriend he
killed was not sincere, a cousin of Reeva Steenkamp said Thursday as testimonies
wrapped up.Kim Martin spoke on the fourth day of the sentencing portion of the
double-amputee Olympians trial. Following the testimony and final arguments,
Judge Thokozile Masipa will rule on the punishment for Pistorius after
convicting him of culpable homicide for shooting Steenkamp through a toilet door
in his home.My lady, I really believe the accused, Mr. Pistorius, needs to pay
for what hes done, Martin testified before the red-robed judge.My family are not
seeking revenge, Martin said. We just feel to take somebodys life, to shoot
somebody behind the door who is unarmed, who is harmless, needs sufficient
punishment.Just after the court adjourned for lunch Thursday, Pistorius sister
Aimee became tearful and distraught, telling her family that a man who was
behind her in the gallery had mouthed an obscenity at her. Pistorius brother,
Carl, said he would inform police about the courtroom incident.Two men who said
they were in court to support Steenkamps family denied any involvement in the
alleged incident and accused Aimee Pistorius and her family of lying.Theyre
making up a fabricated story, same as Oscars, said Mikey Schultz, a former boxer
and the self-confessed killer of a businessman in 2005 who escaped prosecution
in an immunity deal with the state. Schultz has been seen sitting in court this
week with men who have had confrontations with Pistorius in the past.The
prosecution and defence said they would deliver final arguments on Friday,
clearing the way for the judge to deliver the sentence at a date yet to be
announced.Pistorius was acquitted of murder for the Feb. 14, 2013 killing and
found guilty of the lesser crime of negligent killing. Masipa has wide latitude
when deciding on a sentence for culpable homicide, and could order a suspended
sentence and a fine, house arrest, or send him to prison for up to 15
years.Defence lawyers have argued for a sentence of three years of house arrest
with community service. In the first part of the sentencing hearing, they called
a psychologist and social workers, who said that Pistorius should not go tto
prison because of his ongoing emotional suffering.

who needs prosthetic legs would leave him vulnerable in jail.Martin, the cousin,
said a prison sentence would be appropriate for Pistorius and that she
understood the rehabilitation program in jail to be humane and dignified,
contrary to allegations by one of the social workers who testified for the
defence. In her sometimes emotional testimony, Martin said many people had
suffered because of Pistorius, including his own family, and that a sentence
that excludes jail time would encourage the athlete to feel within himself that
what hes done is all right.Zach Modise, the acting national commissioner for
correctional services, testified after Martin, saying that the South African
prison system compared favourably with prisons he had visited in Britain and the
United States. He acknowledged problems such as overcrowding and gang activity,
but said officials had made progress in combatting those problems and that some
prison facilities can cater to disabled criminals, including Pistorius.We will
be able to accomodate him, Modise said. The athlete would be housed in the
hospital section of a Pretoria prison, he said.However, defence lawyer Barry
Roux referred to reports of an increase in alleged torture in South Africas
prison system. He also said an imprisoned gang leader alleged that Pistorius
would be under threat if he is incarcerated; Modise said he was not aware of any
threat.Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel has described defence calls for a house
arrest sentence as shockingly inappropriate and wants Pistorius to be sent to
prison.Tension flared briefly during the court session when Roux suggested Nel
was trying to place purported facts on the record rather than asking questions
of a witness.I think Mr. Nel must just take the oath because hes giving
evidence, Roux said, drawing laughter from the gallery.Nel responded that it
wasnt funny.I could make the same sarcastic remark but I decided not to, he
said.Judge Masipa later cautioned Roux, saying he could object but had not done
so appropriately.Thursdays proceedings started on a light note. Nel
congratulated Masipa on her 67th birthday and people in the courtroom applauded.
