NBA icon Michael Jordan got some disturbing news this week while yachting with his wife, Yvette Prieto, in Greece.

The six-time NBA champion is vacationing with his family and probably isn’t all that keen on discussing business.

Even so, he suffered a significant blow on Thursday as his 23XI Racing NASCAR team took a notable L in an ongoing lawsuit with the stock car racing league that could cost him a lot of money.

According to the Daily Mail, a federal judge rejected a request from the team and Front Row Motorsports to continue racing with charters while they fight NASCAR in court.

The abovementioned decision means the teams’ six cars will race as open entries at Dover this weekend and in Indianapolis next week. It could also carry over to other events and leave them at risk of going out of business.

Open entries are teams without charters that aren’t guaranteed starting spots and don’t receive the same amount of money as those with charters.

“We are disappointed that the court declined to grant 23XI and Front Row Motorsports a temporary restraining order to allow the teams to continue racing as chartered teams,” the teams’ lawyer Jeffrey Kessler said in a statement.

“We remain confident that our motion for a preliminary injunction is legally warranted and necessary, and we look forward to the court´s full review.”

Judge Kenneth Bell denied the request for a temporary stay, declaring that the outfits will still make the races over the next few weeks and aren’t at risk of losing drivers or sponsors before he rules on a preliminary injunction.

Michael Jordan was seen walking along Mykonos puffing on a cigar after getting off a motorboat. It wasn’t clear whether he had already become aware of the above at the time.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
