**Chicago, Illinois** – NBA legend Michael Jordan’s recent appearance at a Champions League game has fans worried about his health. The 61-year-old former Chicago Bulls star was spotted with a yellow tint to his eyes, leading to speculation about potential liver problems.

However, a friend of Jordan has assured the public that the six-time NBA champion is in good health. “Mike is OK,” the insider told TheDailyMail.com. “He goes to the doctor regularly, and there’s nothing to worry about.”

Jordan’s yellow eyes are not a new phenomenon. Images dating back to 2014 show similar discoloration, and his eyes had a yellowish tint in the 2020 documentary “The Last Dance”. Fans voiced concerns then as well, but Jordan seems to be in good health, according to his friend.

While Jordan appreciates fans’ concern, the source added that he’s “a bit embarrassed by how people are seeing him.” He “doesn’t want to be remembered as looking sick or unwell,” and assures fans he’ll “look much better” the next time they see him.

According to Dr. Val Phua, the yellowing of the eyes, known as jaundice, can be a symptom of several conditions, including liver disease, hepatitis, or gallstones. It can also be caused by a build-up of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced by the breakdown of red blood cells.

While Jordan’s discoloration may point to jaundice, Dr. Phua suggests there could be a localized issue causing the yellowing, such as a pinguecula, a harmless growth on the eye. Regardless, Dr. Phua emphasizes that yellow eyes should not be ignored and warrant a visit to a medical professional.

While Jordan’s yellow eyes have sparked concern, his friends have assured the public that he is in good health. The NBA legend is enjoying life and has no health problems, they say.
