Lamar Odom was not present on Oct. 21 with the Kardashian clan when rapper Kanye West, 36, proposed to his girlfriend Kim Kardashian, 33 at At&T Park in San Francisco.

The troubled basketball player reportedly didn't attend the engagement bash because he felt that being there would have made the situation awkward, stated a source of Hollywood Life.

Odom, 33, apparently made the decision to skip the event due to friction between his family and the Kardashians.

"It would have been a little awkward for Lamar to be there. His side of the family isn't too keen on Kim's side and that would have been bad energy. Lamar's not stupid and knows what's best and decided to just sit it out and let Kim and Kanye do their thing," said the source.

Due to Lamar's widely spoken about drug habit, the media continues to speculate a possible divorce between he and wife Khloe Kardashian.

Although Odom wasn't on hand for Kanye and Kim's big moment, he did send his support.

"He sent his congratulations to Kim and Kanye and he thinks that's lovely. He really does. He can't believe Kanye didn't propose sooner. He thinks it's great and he's really happy for Kim," added the source.
