The source further tells the site that NBA is "taking things very hard". However, with Khloe, 31, by his side, he is committed to recovering and is ready to turn a new leaf!

"Lamar is beyond embarrassed for what he did. People look up to him as a role model and he feels he embarrassed his name and family along with the Kardashian family," source explains.

“He feels ashamed and is taking things very hard while he recuperates. He is still in rough shape and is looking forward to rehab," adds the source.
