DALLAS -- Los Angeles Clippers forward Lamar Odom told ESPNDallas.com on Tuesday he would apologize to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban if they had a conversation but felt no guilt about the role he played in his premature departure from Dallas last season.

Odom returned to the American Airlines Center on Tuesday for the first time since the "mutual decision" for him to leave the Mavericks with a few weeks left in last season, a roster move that Cuban called "addition by subtraction" at the time.

A sellout crowd at the AAC booed Odom every time he touched the ball Tuesday night. Cuban, who usually sits courtside by the Mavs' bench, did not attend the game.

Odom's brief tenure in Dallas was high on drama -- including a midseason sabbatical when he left early for the All-Star break and returned late, missing four games -- but low on production. The 2010-11 Sixth Man of the Year arrived in a post-lockout trade from the Los Angeles Lakers and averaged career lows in essentially every statistical category during his 50-game stint for the Mavericks.
