Thirty-two-year-old Tristan delivered a strong performance in his 10 minutes of court action and scored four points, one rebound, and provided some tough defense against Denver star Nikola Jokic, 28.

Kris oozed glamor as she rocked a pair of black sunglasses during the game and wore a black leather jacket over a black top with black leggings and matching boots. She accessorized with stud earrings and sported a number of rings on her fingers.
Meanwhile, Corey opted for a black bucket hat, black jacket, and black shorts, and completed the look with a pair of Nike sneakers featuring a black swoosh. The celebrity couple was all smiles as they sat courtside among fans wearing Lakers colors of purple and gold.
Kim Kardashian at Tristan's game
Earlier this month, Kim Kardashian also supported Tristan by attending the Lakers playoffs game against the Golden State Warriors with her daughter North West, nine. The SKIMS founder was seen holding up a homemade sign with Tristan's name on it as she sat courtside and cheered on her sister Khloe's ex-boyfriend.
It's worth noting that Tristan has had an on-and-off history with Khloe, with whom he shares two children, daughter True, four, and a baby boy named Tatum Robert.
Why did Tristan and Khloe split?
The pair reportedly conceived Tatum via surrogate but parted ways before he was born after it emerged that Tristan had fathered another boy named Theo with another woman, Maralee Nichols, 31. The NBA star reportedly impregnated Maralee in March 2021 and was informed of her pregnancy a couple of months later in July 2021. Tristan reportedly kept the news from Khloe and encouraged her to continue with their surrogacy. An embryo transfer was successfully completed in November of that year, just a week before the Daily Mail revealed Tristan was expecting a child with Maralee. Theo was born in December 2021.
Tristan initially denied being the child's biological father, but he took to Instagram in January 2022 to confirm that he had taken a paternity test and was indeed Theo's dad. He also revealed that he planned to "amicably" co-parent with Maralee, and issued an apology to Khloe despite having cheated on her numerous times in the past -- including when she was pregnant with their daughter True in 2018. Regardless, Khloe has continued to stand by Tristan and even called him the "best father" in March while wishing him a happy 32nd birthday on Instagram.
Season three of 'The Kardashians' is slated to premiere on Thursday, May 25, on Hulu.
