Odom will travel, but likely won't play

Lamar Odom said that he was planning to travel with the team on its upcoming two-game swing through Texas, but probably won't play in either game.

``It's swollen and it's not stable enough to support a 6-foot-10, 242-pound frame,'' he said. ``I can take pain. But if my knee is not able to hold me up, I can't go out there.

``I'm going to be cautious with it. I don't want it to re-occur. With a knee you've always got to be careful.''

Odom has missed the last two games with a bone bruise on his right knee and was not active for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He originally injured it on Tuesday when he knocked knees with New Orleans' Chris Paul.
