Tristan Thompson‘s basketball career is back on — and it’s being continued in a city Khloé Kardashian knows and loves very much.
The 32-year-old NBA veteran signed with a new team on Sunday after sitting out most of the season in a semi-retirement. And yes, his new squad is none other than the Los Angeles Lakers, who are adding depth for their playoff push right now.

On Tuesday night, the Lakers are set to face the Minnesota Timberwolves in a play-in game to decide seeding for the upcoming NBA playoffs. The winner of that game will earn the 7-seed in the playoff bracket — so it’s a big deal for LeBron James and company to try to win and guarantee a playoff appearance.
So, on Sunday morning, the LakeShow went after some experienced talent! On Twitter and Instagram, the team announced they have signed Tristan and veteran guard Shaquille Harrison to new contracts ahead of Tuesday’s play-in game. LeBron is reuniting with Tristan after their days in Cleveland together, and the Lakers are hoping the new veteran duo can help propel them past the T-Wolves.
…And Khloé appears to be loving it, too!!!
Over on Instagram, she double-tapped the Lakers’ post (HERE) confirming they picked up Tristan for their postseason run:
So that’s an interesting way to show support!
Of course, the two co-parents live very close together in Calabasas, north of El Lay. They have been collectively taking on duties relating to the care of daughter True Thompson and their infant son, whose name has not been announced publicly. This Lakers move gets Tristan back in the basketball biz — at least for a little while — and in the only city where Khloé really wants to be. So
