Jordan ready to return to the court
Michael Jordan all but confirmed he would return to play in the National Basketball Association and said the world will know for sure within 10 days.
Asked whether he was definitely coming back, Jordan smiled and said: "I'm doing it for the love of the game. Nothing else. For the love of the game."
The 38-year-old, who led the Chicago Bulls to six championships, has been training all summer in preparation for his expected comeback with the Washington Wizards.
He is president of basketball operations for the team and a part owner, meaning he has to give up his ownership under NBA rules before returning to the court.
The only question remaining is whether the tendinitis in his right knee would limit his effectiveness.
However, Jordan, who has played practice games against NBA players, said the knee was sound. If it remains that way over the next few days, he said: "I'll be ready to go."
