MICHAEL Jordan is reportedly doing well after a worrying photo of him was released.

Jordan looked worse for wear in a picture from his trip to Europe, but those around him insist he is doing alright.

After fans spotted Jordan’s eyes looking yellow, they were quick to speculate if he was suffering from some sort of health issue.

A large consensus was that the NBA legend could have jaundice, a condition that yellows the eyes and skin.

However, a source close to Jordan insists that he is healthy and actively visits his doctor.

“Mike is OK. He goes to the doctor, he is just getting older and the recent pics are in no way or should be a reason for concern,” the source told the Daily Mail.

“There is nothing wrong with him. Like everyone, we should get a little more exercise and Mike enjoys the life he has made for himself, but there isn’t any hidden illness that he is dealing with.

The insider also shared that Jordan was “embarrassed” by the attention the photos received online and is working on looking healthier for his next public appearance.

“He has heard fans concerns and he appreciates the concern but also is a little embarrassed that people are seeing him in this way.

“He doesn’t want to be remembered by people as looking sick and down and out, the next time we see him, it will be dramatically different and he will look much better, he will bounce back.”

WORRIED FANS

Fans showed their concern for the 61-year-old basketball GOAT last week after the photos first surfaced.

“Check on that liver, Mike,” one fan said.

“It’s a shame when you see your childhood hero sick,” another fan said.

“I hope he’s ok,” a third fan said.

“I hate seeing my goat like this,” a fourth fan said.

This isn’t the first time fans have noticed Jordan with yellowed eyes.

What the new TV deal means for the NBA?

By The U.S. Sun’s Assistant Sports Editor Damian Burchardt.

THE new TV rights deal is promising to be a humongous win for NBA players.

The league is set to more than double the revenue coming from its media partners, pocketing about $6.9 billion per year, which will inevitably lead to a huge salary cap spike in 2025-26.

That is going to send the value of player contracts skyrocketing.

Projected figures suggest we might see the first $100 million-per-year deal being signed soon.

Currently, Boston Celtics All-Star Jayson Tatum is projected to earn the highest single-season salary in NBA history, collecting $71.5 million in 2029-30.

If TNT Sports successfully matches one of the offers to maintain its decades-long partnership with the league, hoops fans will be on the winning side too.

The network’s flagship, Inside the NBA, is a one-of-a-kind sports entertainment show, as evidenced by ESPN’s ongoing failure to come up with its own version of the program in recent years.

The NBA wouldn’t be the same without Kenny and Ernie trying to make sense of Shaq and Chuck’s never-ending bickering every Tuesday night.

When The Last Dance documentary was released, fans spotted a yellow hue during those appearances.

The insider said that fans just haven’t seen much of Jordan over the years, so his aging appears sudden.

“Michael Jordan isn’t always out there and on our TV screens, so we haven’t seen him age,” they said.

“Most of the time people see him is when his highlights are shown, or we see his crying face that has become one of the biggest memes of all time.

“So when we see him like we have just seen him, it is very jarring because we have to reason to ourselves that our hero is getting older, which means we are getting older.

“Everyone sees Charles Barkley and Shaq all the time, and they have both considerably aged, but since we see them all the time, it is easier to reason the changes that have happened to them.”
