Michael Jordan

Lakers coach Phil Jackson may consider asking Jordan to join Los Angeles if Kobe Bryant is unable to complete the season due to legal issues. "It has crossed my mind," Jackson told the Chicago Tribune. "But I don't think I'd ask Michael that question until it became absolutely necessary or it became a reality. It's just speculation."

After a meeting on Tuesday between Jordan and team owner Abe Pollin, the Wizards have decided to cut their ties with M.J., the Associated Press reports.

Two days before a meeting with owner Abe Pollin, Jordan said Monday night that he wants to return to the Wizards' front office, the Washington Post reports.

If Jordan, whose future in D.C. is uncertain, severs ties with the Wizards, Charlotte's expansion team will likely pursue him, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Jordan's future with the Wizards organization is in question, the New York Times reports.
