Lamar Odom remains in critical condition after being found unconscious in a Nevada brothel on Tuesday, but his family is not giving up on him.

In a statement obtained by E! News, the basketball players’ maternal aunt, JaNean Mercer (his late mother’s sister), continues to ask for your prayers in his recovery.

“No words can express the overwhelming gratitude we feel for the outpouring of support from around the world,” she says. “Please continue to keep in your prayers, our family and Lamar, whom we deeply love, admire and cherish.”

Mercer adds that they still hold hope for improvement. “His complete healing is paramount and our primary focus. Please respect our privacy as we continue to lean on GOD and trust inHim during this extremely difficult time.”
