Here is all you need to know about Tristan Thompson’s life right now.
I wanted to get some information on him being traded to Pacers, so I googled his name and none of the news articles about him had anything to do with basketball or being traded. I had to go through three pages to get to a local article in Indiana that had this to say about his addition to the Pacers roster.
Thompson averaged a career-best 12 points per game during his final season in Cleveland, but has been on the decline since. He signed a two-year, $18.9 million deal with Boston in November 2020. He was traded to the Kings in July. He averaged 7.6 points in 54 games with the Celtics and 6.2 points in 30 games with the Kings.
Thompson’s contract expires at the end of the season. He is making $9.7 million this season. Thompson was cleared to play on Jan. 18 after missing time due a quadriceps injury and a non-COVID-19 illness but hasn’t appeared in a game since Jan. 9.
Even in this local Indiana article they still bring up Khloe Kardashian.
Thompson and Khloe Kardashian met on a blind date and were first publicly spotted as a couple in August 2016. The couple had their first child together in 2018, but Thompson was reportedly cheating on Kardashian while she was pregnant. The couple broke up in 2019; however, it was reported that they were back together the next year.
In December 2021, Maralee Nichols had a baby and claimed that Thompson was the father. Last month, Thompson acknowledged that the baby was his, and publicly apologized. Thompson and Kardashian have separated.
It is possible that Thompson doesn’t play at all for the Pacers, but he says he would still like to play and might be angling for a buyout so he can get back to LA to play with LeBron and try to get Khloe back before Lamar Odom does.
Thompson has also spoke about retirement as a way to pay less child support to Nichols.
Nichols and Khloe dropped dueling thirst traps pics after the trade was announced. Khloe’s is HEAVILY edited.
