[Saba Sports News] Retired NBA legend Michael Jordan and his wife, Yvette Prieto, were enjoying a European vacation on Thursday when photos of the six-time NBA champion stirred online concern.
While attending a UEFA Champions League match between AS Monaco and FC Barcelona in Monaco, photographers captured shots of Jordan.
Fans quickly noticed a worrying detail: Jordan’s eyes appeared yellow. Yellowing eyes can signal various health issues, from liver disease to gallbladder problems, but could also be due to harmless pigmentation.
Speculation about Jordan’s health isn’t new, as similar concerns arose after the release of “The Last Dance” documentary in 2020. London-based optometrist Bhavin Shah told the Daily Mail that the yellowing could simply be “natural pigmentation.”
Jordan has never publicly addressed his eye condition or his relationship with alcohol, though he once revealed a recurring dream about struggling with alcoholism. While some fans voiced serious concern, others took a more lighthearted approach.
