Jordan Jr. to miss Illini games over rules flap

Provided by Written on November 10, 2009

CHAMPAIGN, Ill.(AP) — The NCAA says the oldest son of Michael
Jordan will miss the first two games of the season for No. 23
Illinois after playing in an unsanctioned event last summer.

Illinois coach Bruce Weber says Jeff Jordan, a reserve guard,
played in a three-on-three event.

Jordan wasn’t part of the Illinois team at the time. The junior
left the team at the end of last season but changed his mind and
returned in October.

Weber called Jordan’s playing in the event an innocent thing.

Jordan will miss the Fighting Illini’s season opener against
Southern Illinois-Edwardsville on Friday and Tuesday’s contest
with Northern Illinois.
