Lamar Odom looked unscathed as he was seen for the first time after being involved in a minor car accident in Los Angeles early Monday morning.
The 43-year-old NBA champion looked in good shape as he headed to the grocery store on a Calabasas grocery run just hours after the collision.
Lamar opted for comfort in a green tie-dye graphic sweater with a pair of relaxed fit purple jeans.
Earlier that day it was reported that the former Los Angeles Lakers player was not injured but shaken up after his Mercedes was wrecked when he collided with two parked cars around 3 a.m.

Looking good: Lamar Odom looked unscathed as he was seen for the first time after being involved in a minor car accident in Los Angeles early Monday morning.
Because he dropped his phone and was reaching down to retrieve it, he ended up hitting one parked car which bumped into another one in front of it.
No one was inside of the parked cars at the time of the accident.
Once the authorities arrived at the scene, the two-time NBA champion was cooperative and explained how the accident occurred.
As a result, they did not file a police report or press charges.
They also concluded Odom did not need medical assistance even though the impact did deploy his airbags.
Reps also told the outlet that he was asked if he had been drinking, and Odom responded about his sobriety and owning rehab facilities.
The police reportedly did not conduct a field sobriety test.
Once Odom explained how the accident occurred, the owners of the parked cars came out of their homes to exchange information.

In July 2011, he was in a serious accident in New York City, which resulted in a collision between the car Odom was riding in, a motorcyclist and a 15-year-old pedestrian — who ended up succumbing to his injuries.
At the time, he was reportedly visiting to attend the funeral of his 24-year-old cousin — whom he said was a victim of homicide.
Although he was not driving, the tragedy affected Odom heavily and a friend told Us Weekly at the time that he ‘never fully recovered from that and has been living with the sadness ever since’.
‘Things kept getting worse and worse, and he was numbing the pain with whatever he could find,’ the source added.
His substance abuse led to a DUI bust in 2013 and Kardashian filed for divorce that same year.
