February 29 2024- Tristan Thompson has been granted guardianship of his 17-year-old brother, Amari, following the death of their mother, Andrea, in January 2023. The Los Angeles County Superior Court issued the ruling, giving the NBA star sole guardianship and the responsibility of managing Amari’s inheritance. Thompson filed for full guardianship, citing the absence of their father, Trevor Thompson, in Amari’s life since 2014. The court determined that returning Amari to his parents’ previous country of nationality (Canada) is not in his best interest, and reunification with Trevor is deemed “not viable” due to neglect and abandonment under California law.
