Sep 04, 2013 09:23 AM EDT

After reports of Lamar Odom's alleged drug addiction making headlines last week, this week it would seem that his alleged drug deal has come forth and he sure does have some shocking news to tell.

According to the drug dealer Odom has spent more than $50,000 on cocaine over the past three years and that he has smoked it before games.

The dealer who wished to remain anonymous told RadarOnline that he was there when Odom smoked prior to the Clippers-Knicks game at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 10.

"I know it for a fact because I sold him the stuff and saw him smoke it" the man said. "He spent about 16 grand."

On that night Odom played 22 minutes and scored two points, seven rebounds and five assists in the Clippers 14-point win.

TMZ was the first to report on Odom's drug addiction, saying that he's been addicted for about two years. His addiction is also reportedly the principle reason to being the cause of the crisis in his marriage to Khloe Kardashian.

Odom supposedly went to a rehab facility a year ago and stayed there for three weeks before leaving.

Sources say Odom's crack abuse was so extreme before going into rehab, but he cleaned up in time for last year's NBA season. However, sources say at the conclusion of the season he was back to his abuse.

It's unclear how Lamar's problem will affect his basketball career.
