This morning, Kris Jenner spoke to ET about how "excited" she is to see the basketball player get back to his life.

"It's a really short [trip]," she added, explaining that Lamar is "ready" to handle the outing. "I think it's a great thing for him to be with the family, and come out and do something that we're all a part of, and he really wanted to support Kanye. He really wanted to be here for him, because Kanye was very instrumental in part of his recovery."

Another big part of his recovery, of course, was Khloe.
"She's a very realistic girl," Kris said. "So, when he was going through some dark times, Khloe sort of braced herself, you know? But she's the strongest girl in the world. So, I said to her, 'I'm now changing my medical directive because of you and the way you were with Lamar.' If anything ever happens to me, I want Khloe there! Because she's amazing. OK, Kourtney, you're out. Khloe's in!"

"I think it's no secret that that's probably right out there, written on my forehead or something," she gushed. "Yeah, I mean, I always want my kids to have a happy ending. All of them. And I consider Lamar, he's one of my kids. So, I fall in love with anybody my kids, you know, bring to me and we have as part of our family. They'll always be family, so I always want there to be a happy ending."
