When is Michael Jordan's next NBA game? No comeback is announced — last tip was April 16, 2003 (Wizards), his third retirement, and the NBA has no MJ return dated.
A Michael Jordan comeback game isn't scheduled. He already returned twice; Philly 2003 closed the third exit. Ownership and The Last Dance are not a tip-off clock.

No Jordan comeback tip is dated — April 16, 2003 already closed the third retirement
Search still asks when Michael Jordan “comes back” for another NBA game. There is no such tip-off. His last night was April 16, 2003, in Philadelphia — 15 points for the Wizards in a loss to the 76ers — after he had already retired twice before and returned once more.
Sneakers, documentaries, and ownership chapters kept the myth loud. The official schedule never added a fourth playing act. Until an NBA roster lists him, keep the countdown blank.
Confirmed: last game Apr 16 2003 / third retirement — not a 2026–28 Wizards reboot, not a Bulls hologram tip
Confirmed: final NBA game April 16, 2003 (Wizards @ Sixers); three playing retirements; Wizards comeback years 2001–03; no current roster listing. Not confirmed: a timed return contract, an All-Star playing slot as MJ, or a celebrity exhibition as an official NBA game. Fake “Jordan signs one-day contract Friday” stubs invent a corridor.
From Bulls dynasty exits to the Wizards farewell — the closed MJ calendar
- 1993 — first retirement; baseball chapter begins.
- 1995–98 — return; second three-peat; 1999 retirement.
- 2001 — Wizards playing comeback after front-office role.
- Apr 16 2003 — last NBA game at Philadelphia; third retirement.
- After — brand / ownership era; no dated fourth playing return.
How to read a “Jordan comeback game” rumour without buying a ghost ticket
- Last official tip: April 16, 2003 — leave new dates blank.
- Comebacks already used: 1995 Bulls return + 2001 Wizards return.
- The Last Dance / jersey nights ≠ rostered NBA minutes.
- Ownership or celebrity games ≠ league schedule entries.
- Until NBA.com lists him on a game day, ignore dated stubs.
He already came back twice — the 2003 exit was the third retirement, and he called it 100% final that night in Philly
Jordan’s myth includes two famous returns (post-baseball Bulls, then Wizards). That is exactly why a “new comeback date” reads like sequel bait: the third goodbye already happened. On April 16, 2003, he scored 15, took the ovation, and said he was done — not 99.9%, 100%. The interesting calendar fact is that closed trilogy of exits, not a phantom fourth tip.
Honest pages keep the countdown empty, point to the Wizards farewell box score, and refuse to sell documentary hype as a game time.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When is Michael Jordan’s next NBA game?
There is no announced comeback. Jordan’s last NBA appearance was April 16, 2003, for the Washington Wizards at Philadelphia. The league has not listed him on any current roster.
2Didn’t he retire more than once already?
Yes — three playing exits. He left after 1993 (baseball interlude), again in 1999 after the Bulls’ second three-peat, then returned with the Wizards (2001–03) before the April 16, 2003 farewell he called 100% final.
3What was his last box score?
Fifteen points in 28 minutes in a 107-87 loss to the 76ers. The First Union Center crowd gave him a long standing ovation when he checked out for good with under two minutes left.
4Do ownership nights or The Last Dance count?
No. Documentary drops, jersey ceremonies, and front-office appearances are not an NBA comeback tip. Until a team posts Jordan on an official roster with a tip time, leave this countdown empty.
