Tristan will compete against some of his former teammates during Monday’s match. After playing for Cleveland since 2011, he was traded to the Boston Celtics in 2020.
He played just a year in Boston, then played closer to his family with the Sacramento Kings from 2021 to 2022 before being traded to the Indiana Pacers — who subsequently bought out his contract — and the Chicago Bulls, who signed him. later in the year.
Last year, he began a stint with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he once again played with his old Cleveland teammate LeBron James.
It was another short-lived stint and in September 2023, he signed a one-year deal to return to the Cavaliers.
Thompson had a bumpy return as he was handed a 25-game suspension without pay by the NBA in January this year after testing positive for two banned substances, ibutamoren and SARM LGD-4033.
Tristan and Khloé had revitalized their family enough to welcome their son Tatum via surrogacy, but shortly before he was born, Khloé learned that the NBA player was expecting a child with another woman.
However, she persevered and the two have remained co-parents to Tatum, just like their daughter True.
Earlier this month, Khloé opened up on the SHE MD podcast about how she struggled to come up with a name for Tatum because she wasn’t as strongly connected to him at first due to his surrogate mother.
Earlier this month, Khloé opened up on the SHE MD podcast about how she struggled to come up with a name for Tatum because she hadn’t worn it herself.
“I wasn’t wearing it, I didn’t really feel anything,” she admitted, adding that the struggle was amplified because her family didn’t even know she was expecting a second child yet.
“I actually haven’t officially named Tatum, I think maybe eight months,” she added, noting that she didn’t want to give him as unusual a name as some of her sister’s children.
Khloé called him “Daddy” for much of that time, but she ultimately chose Tatum and said she is now “obsessed” with her son.
