Tristan Thompson‘s bouncing back from his recent on-court scuffle with the Toronto Raptors … announcing he’s looking to the future off the hardwood — with a new role in a massive artificial intelligence endeavor.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star was named the Chief Content Officer and Lead Advisor for TracyAI — a new project involving Virtuals Protocol, a leader in the A.I. space.

TracyAI — announced in San Francisco during this weekend’s NBA All-Star Game festivities — will provide new real-time analysis for sports broadcasts … enhancing the way fans of the sport get to see and understand the game.

It’s a much more positive development than the on-court incident TT was involved in earlier this week … when he dunked on the Raptors in garbage time — and, the other team took exception.

The Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic called Thompson’s actions disrespectful after the game … but, Khloe Kardashian‘s ex shrugged them off — saying “You wanna full court press with under a minute left in the game when you get cracked by 30 this will happen to you.”
