Tristan has been granted temporary guardianship of his younger brother.

Tristan Thompson's world was turned upside down when his mother passed away in January, leaving the NBA player responsible for caring for his 17-year-old brother, Amari. In order to ensure Amari was properly taken care of, Tristan filed for legal guardianship on September 8 and was formally granted the authority to do so on September 20.

The court documents obtained by People Magazine stated Tristan was granted all the powers a legal custodian of a minor would have, such as managing his finances and assets, deciding the living arrangements, and travelling with him. It was also mentioned Amari has epilepsy and several other conditions that require round-the-clock care.

In the claim, Tristan mentioned their father, Trevor Thompson, had not been in Amari's life since 2014. Since Amari is the closest living family member of Tristan, it was in his best interest to appoint a guardian to ensure his basic needs were met. Tristan also plans to apply for U.S. citizenship for his brother.

Since their mother's passing, Amari has been living with Tristan at his Hidden Hills home in California. It's a fitting time for the news to come out, as it was only a week after the NBA player signed a contract to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
