Good news for the Kardashian family! A source exclusively tells Us Weekly that Khloe Kardashian's husband Lamar Odom may be returning to play for the Los Angeles Lakers.

An insider tells Us that the 33-year-old NBA player is "close to signing" back on with the team. "Lamar is thrilled and always loved being a Laker," the source says. "He was really sad when they traded him."

The Lakers traded Odom in December 2011 to the Dallas Mavericks. Just four months later, in April, he parted ways with the Mavericks and was listed as inactive for the remainder of the season, and was then traded to the Los Angeles Clippers that June.

The source tells Us that the Lakers will get Odom back "for less money now, but realized they needed him."

Kardashian, 29, has remained supportive of her husband throughout his career. She admitted she was "sad" when Odom was traded to the Mavericks, but kept a positive attitude about moving from Los Angeles to Texas. "I am sure I will love it but I am a tad thrown off…I know for a fact blessings are everywhere!" she tweeted at the time. "Everything happens for a reason. God is great."
