In photos shared widely on social media, Jordan’s scleras (the whites of his eyes) appeared glassy and orange-colored. This unusual appearance led to a flurry of speculation and concern among fans, with many questioning whether the basketball icon might be suffering from a health issue such as jaundice, which can cause the whites of the eyes to turn yellow due to liver problems.
The sight of Jordan’s eyes has led to various reactions online. Some fans expressed their worries directly, with comments like “Does he have jaundice?” and “His liver is begging for help”. Others speculated about his lifestyle, suggesting that his well-known habits of smoking cigars and drinking might be taking a toll on his health.
Jaundice is a condition that can indicate serious health issues, particularly related to the liver, pancreas, or gall bladder. It occurs when there is a buildup of bilirubin, a yellow compound that forms when red blood cells break down. This condition can be a sign of liver disease or other severe infections.
While there has been no official statement from Jordan or his representatives regarding his health, the public concern highlights the deep connection and care fans have for the sports icon.
