NBA star Tristan Thompson surprised fans when he filed for a limited conservatorship for his 19-year-old brother Amari on Monday, April 27 — sparking questions about family care and responsibility. Read on to discover the full story!

What the filing says

Court papers describe Amari as having an intellectual disability and developmental delay, and state he cannot care for his personal needs, live independently or manage finances. The documents say Amari does not object to Tristan becoming conservator and does not plan to contest it.

A history of guardianship

Tristan was granted legal guardianship over Amari in 2024, after their mother Andrea died in 2023. In that earlier filing Tristan said their father Trevor has been absent since 2014 and identified himself as Amari’s closest living family member.
