Having Cheated On Khloe Kardashian, Tristan Thompson Blows Up On Kim Kardashian's Instagram As LeBron James' Lakers Win

Kim Kardashian was in attendance tonight as LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers took a commanding 3-1 series lead over Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. She was present for their Game 3 30-point blowout win over the Warriors in what felt like a one-time occurrence given that she doesn’t have a strong relationship any of the players out on the court. However, her showing up for Game 4 changed that.

Kim’s courtside appearance for Game 4 had NBA Twitter speculating on whether or not she was perhaps in a relationship with any of the players on the Lakers or the Warriors. Some believed she was seeing Lonnie Walker IV, who already has a partner, while others believed it could’ve been Austin Reaves.

Though, with her most recent Instagram story, it’s clear who she was there for and who was rooting for to win.

Kim Kardashian shows love to Tristan Thompson

Tristan Thompson has a complicated history with the Kardashian family. He was famously in a relationship with Kim’s younger sister, Khloe Kardashian, and the two share a daughter as well. He would however, be caught cheating on her with various women at night clubs.

Despite this, the two have seemingly buried the hatchet and are on good terms, raising their daughter together. Them being on cordial terms with one another has also resulted in Khloe’s sisters and the rest of her family to once again accept Tristan back into their fold.

Kim took to her Instagram story to put any rumors to rest regarding her dating life and any involvement with players on the Lakers or the Warriors. She posted a picture of Tristan Thompson and showcased her love for the Lakers franchise, rooting for them all throughout this series.

Tristan Thompson is back in the NBA

Tristan Thompson had last played in the NBA in the 2021-22 season when he was with the Chicago Bulls. He was a benchwarmer for the most part as he played 23 games and started merely 3 of them.

Over this past regular season, he would find himself in the NBA analyst position at ESPN and towards the end of it, snagged himself a roster spot on the Lakers. He has played 2 games for them in these Playoffs, both of them during garbage time when the game was decided. He’s averaging 3.5 points on 42.9% shooting from the field.
