Tristan seeks to become guardian for his brother following their mother's death.

Following the unexpected death of his mother in January, NBA free agent Tristan Thompson has taken it upon himself to care for his 17-year-old brother, Amari. The father of both Amari and Tristan has not been present in Amari's life since 2014, so Tristan has taken it upon himself to file paperwork to gain legal guardianship of his brother in order to ensure that he has a stable home life.

The court documents also state that Amari has received $103,475 from his mother's estate, and Tristan is now in charge of caring for Amari as well as managing his financial affairs and medical appointments. To provide for Amari, Tristan has welcomed him into his Hidden Hills home in California.

Tristan and Amari were also recently living with Tristan's ex, Khloe Kardashian, while his roof was being repaired. Kardashian has since clarified that her and Tristan are not back together, saying that “this is what family does.”

Aside from providing a home and care for his brother, Tristan is also looking to apply for U.S. citizenship for Amari, as both are Canadian.

The Thompsons' mother, Andrea, passed away after a heart attack she suffered at her home in Toronto on Jan. 5. Tristan flew from Los Angeles to Toronto shortly after to be with his family. It is clear that Tristan was very close with his mother, as was Khloe, which is why the two have come together in this difficult time to ensure Amari is taken care of in the best way possible.
