Michael Jordan’s Son, Jeffrey, to Leave Illinois

For the second straight summer, Michael Jordan’s eldest son has made headlines. Here’s an excerpt from ESPNchicago: “Jeff Jordan has been granted his release from the Illinois basketball program and is expected to transfer, the school announced Friday. Jordan, the eldest son of NBA great Michael Jordan, played three seasons for the Illini and totaled 110 points, 98 assists and 68 rebounds in 92 games. As a junior, Jordan came off the bench and averaged 13.8 minutes while backing up point guard Demetri McCamey. ‘Jeff was an important part of our team; a competitor who provided depth and steady play at the point guard position and was a defensive presence for us,’ Illinois coach Bruce Weber said in a statement.”
