Marcus Jordan, son of NBA icon Michael Jordan, is marking a major personal milestone following a highly publicized DWI arrest earlier this year.
The 34-year-old recently revealed on his Instagram story that he’s been “40 days sober and counting,” sharing the news alongside a photo from a workout room, a clear reflection of his renewed commitment to sobriety, wellness, and personal growth.
The update comes in the aftermath of Marcus’ arrest on February 4, 2025, in Orange County, Florida, where he was charged with driving while intoxicated, resisting arrest, and possession of ketamine.
Police discovered his Lamborghini SUV stuck on railroad tracks, and dashcam footage showed Marcus attempting to leverage his famous last name during the encounter. Despite identifying himself as “Michael Jordan’s son,” he was taken into custody and later released on a $4,000 bond, pleading not guilty to the charges.
In March, court documents revealed that Marcus acknowledged his struggle with substance use and expressed a willingness to seek help.
His legal team requested permission for him to enter a Pre-Trial Substance Abuse Education and Treatment Intervention Program, describing the decision as one that would not only benefit Marcus personally but also serve the greater community by reducing the risk of future incidents.
Since then, Marcus appears to have taken meaningful steps toward rehabilitation and personal accountability.
In addition to his sobriety announcement, Marcus has been posting glimpses of his healthier lifestyle, golfing, eating clean, working out, and even taking a well-earned tropical getaway with his brother Jeffrey and cousin James to Hawaii.

Marcus, who once played college basketball at the University of Central Florida, never made it to the NBA like his father but has carved out his own identity in business and entertainment.

He has remained in the public eye in recent years thanks to his on-and-off relationship with Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of Michael Jordan’s former teammate, Scottie Pippen. Their relationship, often covered in tabloids, has since ended, with Larsa moving on with former pro basketball player Jeff Coby.

Despite his public struggles, Marcus’ efforts to change the narrative surrounding his life are commendable.
Sobriety milestones such as 40 days can often serve as powerful turning points for individuals battling addiction or substance-related issues. His transparency on social media shows a desire not only to hold himself accountable but also to inspire others who may be facing similar battles.
Though he still faces multiple legal hurdles, including charges of DUI with property damage, resisting arrest, and drug possession, Marcus Jordan seems intent on taking the necessary steps to rebuild and redirect his life.
With the support of his family and a renewed focus on sobriety, Marcus may be writing a comeback story that separates him from his father’s legendary legacy and defines him on his own terms, not just as the son of Michael Jordan, but as a man trying to grow beyond past mistakes.
