Tristan Thompson Told Woman Expecting His Child That He’s Retiring from NBA

Tristan Thompson is possibly retiring from the NBA?

Tristan Thompson is being sued for child support by Texas personal trainer Maralee Nichols, who is expecting his child later this month.

The NBA big man, who currently plays for the Sacramento Kings after being traded from the Boston Celtics earlier this year, admitted to having sex with Nichols on at least one occasion, per the documents.

One document filed in August includes a screenshot of a message Thompson allegedly sent to Nichols about her pregnancy, in which he mentioned a forthcoming retirement.

“You know how I feel. My feelings haven’t changed at all. Won’t be involved at all. Btw if you think having this baby is gonna make you some money. It’s completely wrong,” the message reads. “You are aware that I’m retiring after this season. So in terms of support it will be whatever is required monthly for someone who’s unemployed. It’s Texas so it will be only a couple hundred dollars.”

“So you better off taking this 75k I’m offering cause you won’t get nothing near that with having a kid with a father who’s unemployed.”

Thompson has denied sending the message.

Tristan needs to start thinking with his brain, not his you know what.
