The Los Angeles Lakers are not having a good time in the Western Conference Finals. After dominating the Grizzlies and the Warriors, the Lakers just cannot find a way to keep up with the Nuggets. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are causing clear trouble to the 2020 Champions. While the Lakers have Tristan Thompson as a backup big, they have played him just 1 minute in the first three games. Despite his low playing time, TT has a few fans in the stands in Los Angeles. One of them is Kim Kardashian’s daughter, North West.

It is no secret that Tristan Thomspon and Khloe Kardashian have a complicated dating history. They have two children together, which would explain why Thompson’s close to the Kardashians. He’s cheated on Khloe on several occasions, yet we see Kim and her daughter come and support him during the 2023 Playoffs. Tonight, we witness a cute moment between North West and TT.
Tristan Thompson met and hugged North West before Game 3 against the Nuggets
Tristan Thompson was associated with Khloe Kardashian for a good amount of years. During that time, he obviously would have gotten close to the rest of the family as well. We have been seeing a good example of the same as TT has had Kim and her daughter North West come and support him on multiple occasions.
Before tonight’s game’s tip-off, we saw cute footage of TT going over and meeting North West. The two shared a hug and were seen talking for a bit before they fist-bumped, and Thompson returned to the court.

It’s nice to see that despite what’s going on with the adults, the bond between the kids and TT still remains intact.
Khloe Kardashian smacked down any rumors of getting back with TT
Khloe and Tristan started dating in 2016. Since then, they have been on-and-off several times, each of which can be traced back to Thompson committing adultery. They have two kids together, one daughter, True, and a son. After Thompson signed with the Lakers in March, dating rumors sparked about the two.
However, Khloe recently addressed the rumors in the comments sections of an IG Post.
“I suppose you guys will continue the narrative you want regardless of what I say so what’s the point. It’s exhausting but I learned people will only understand to the level of their own perception. Most are stuck at believing the lies because it’s the narrative they want to fuel. Have fun….”
She also talked about Kim supporting Thompson at the Lakers games.
“Some things are just as simple as they seem. A family member supporting another family member ESPECIALLY during a difficult time in life.”
We’ll have to see if the family support helps Tristan and the Lakers overcome this 0-3 deficit.
