Marcus Jordan has made progress in his sobriety journey. On social media, the 34-year-old shared an update for his followers after being arrested earlier this year for DUI.
“40 days sober and counting,” he wrote on an image shared to Instagram stories. A screenshot of the 24-hour-timed upload was shared by TMZ. Gym equipment is in the background of the photo, which is decorated with GIFs that read “loading” and “in progress.”
In February, the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan was taken into custody for drug possession, DUI, and resisting arrest in Florida. According to PEOPLE Magazine, he pleaded not guilty to all charges days after the arrest. Officers claimed that they smelled alcohol on Jordan, who was allegedly slurring his words and had “bloodshot eyes.” He also had cocaine in his possession at the time of the arrest.

In March, Jordan admitted to his issues with substance abuse and addiction as his legal team hoped the judge would order him to complete a Pre-Trial Substance Abuse Education and Treatment Intervention Program for “challenges” related to his “alcohol/substance use,” according to Complex.
“I appreciate everyone reaching out. I’m focusing on @trophyroomstore right now and won’t be making any comments on recent media stories and my personal life,” Jordan explained at the time.
Last year, before his arrest, a video of Jordan allegedly sniffing an unidentified white substance went viral, resulting in social media criticism. In the clip, he was with his girlfriend, Ashley Stevenson, in France after officially parting ways from Larsa Pippen. No public response has been made regarding the video. Pippin is now engaged to Jeff Coby.
