Health Concerns Arise Over Michael Jordan's Recent Appearance at Soccer Game

Former NBA star
Michael Jordan
has raised health concerns among fans after making a public appearance at a Champions League game on September 19. The 61-year-old basketball legend was spotted at the Barcelona versus AS Monaco match, where AS Monaco emerged victorious with a two-one win. During the game, Jordan was photographed with unusual glassy, orange-colored scleras, which are typically white. The image of Jordan at the match was shared by Bleacher Report Football, garnering over 17.6 million views and sparking numerous comments from worried fans. Some fans speculated that the discoloration in Jordan's eyes could be a sign of liver failure or jaundice. Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellowing of the eyes and skin due to a buildup of bilirubin in the body. The condition may indicate underlying liver, pancreas, or gall bladder issues, posing significant health risks, especially in older individuals. Dr. Val Phua, an ophthalmologist, highlighted the importance of not ignoring yellowing eyes as they may signal more serious health issues. He noted that the discoloration in Jordan's eyes could be due to jaundice or other eye conditions like pinguecula, an abnormal growth of tissue on the eye's clear membrane. While Jordan has not addressed the concerns surrounding his eye color, inquiries have been made to his representative for comment.
