Jordan comeback – the saga continues

Basketball legend Michael Jordan will come out of retirement to play for the NBA's Washington Wizards, according to media reports – and could announce his comeback later today.

The Washington Post reports Jordan, who has been part owner of the Wizards and president of basketball operations since January 2000, was to announce his decision as early as today, citing an NBA source.

The team announcement will come via a news release, the source told the newspaper, adding that Jordan will not make a public statement regarding his return until October 1, a day before the team begins training camp.

The announcement had been expected last Thursday, but was postponed after the hijack attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
