Chester, Pennsylvania - - Authorities in Pennsylvania are searching for the father of Orlando Magic guard Jameer Nelson.
Floyd "Pete" Nelson was reported missing from his job as a
dock worker yesterday around noon.
Authorities fear that he fell into the Delaware River in
Chester, Pennsylvania, just south of the Commodore Barry Bridge.
A search of the river was halted last evening because of
darkness and poor visibility. It is expected to resume this morning
at daybreak.
Floyd Nelson, a Vietnam War veteran, wrote a book about his
son's basketball career in 2004. It was simply titled "Jameer."
Jameer Nelson was a basketball standout at Chester High School
and with the St. Joe's Hawks. He was drafted in 2004 by the Magic.
