Michael Jordan has once again sparked concerns about his health after a recent public appearance at the UEFA Champions League match between AS Monaco and Barcelona on September 19, 2024. The 61-year-old NBA legend attended the game with his wife, Yvette Prieto, and was spotted in the stands. However, what caught the attention of many fans was the discoloration of Jordan’s eyes, which appeared yellowish-orange instead of the typical white.

The photos quickly circulated on social media, with fans expressing worry about Jordan’s well-being. The appearance of his eyes led to speculation that he might be suffering from jaundice, a condition that causes the skin and the whites of the eyes (sclera) to turn yellow. Jaundice is often linked to liver issues, such as liver failure or damage, and is caused by a buildup of bilirubin, a yellow chemical found in the blood when red blood cells are broken down.

This isn’t the first time fans have expressed concern over the color of Jordan’s eyes. During the release of The Last Dance documentary in 2020, many viewers noted a similar yellow tint in his eyes, raising similar concerns about his health at the time.

Although medical experts have weighed in on the situation, suggesting that yellowing of the eyes could be linked to liver issues or even a benign condition like a pinguecula (a growth on the conjunctiva of the eye), Jordan himself has never publicly addressed these speculations. 

Despite these concerns, Michael Jordan has remained largely silent on the matter, preferring to keep his personal life private. He has not spoken about any recent health issues or lifestyle factors that could contribute to the state of his eyes, such as alcohol consumption or smoking, though both have been linked to liver health problems in the past.

For now, fans are left to speculate about Jordan’s health, with many hoping that the discoloration is nothing serious. While Jordan continues to make public appearances, including at high-profile events like the Champions League match, his health will undoubtedly remain a topic of conversation among concerned fans and observers.

Until Michael Jordan or his representatives address the issue, concerns will likely persist, fueled by his iconic status and the public’s long-standing admiration for the basketball legend.
