Amari Thompson

Tristan was born on March 13, 1991, to his mother Andrea and his father Trevor Thompson. Along with the pro basketball player, the parents went on to welcome three other children, including his brother, Amari, 16. Tristan has been very public about his love for his youngest sibling, as the teen suffers from epilepsy, according to The US Sun. In 2014, the athlete founded The Amari Thompson Foundation to honor his sibling and show his support for others battling the health condition.

After starting the organization, Tristan and Andrea released a video, via YouTube, to express their reasoning for starting the foundation. Along with the late mom-of-four and Tristan, Amari also appeared in the 2014 clip. “I began the Amari Thompson Foundation for epilepsy awareness on behalf of my brother. Watch the video for more info,” Tristan captioned the tweet of the clip in Aug. 2014.

Later, in March 2022, Tristan revealed how Amari inspires him during an interview with NBC Sports. “My younger brother fights each and every day,” he said at the time. “Most 16-year-olds can enjoy life and have the freedom and be able to experience things with their peers. It’s harder for him.” He went on to explain how Amari is a major motivator in his life. “He motives me. Why not keep working each day? There’s no reason for me not to get up and push to be not only a better basketball player but a better human being,” he concluded.

The former Pacers player opened up about being a father-figure to his siblings during a 2016 interview with his former team, The Cavaliers. “I’m like the big daddy with all of them!”, he said at the time. “I have to make sure I hold them accountable. If my mom texts me and lets me know if they’re acting up, I’m going to shoot them a text, because I know what they’re weaknesses are. So they either get in line or there’s gonna be repercussions.”
