Divers resumed searching the Delaware River on Friday for the father of Orlando Magic guard Jameer Nelson.

Floyd "Pete" Nelson was reported missing from his job at a tugboat repair shop about noon Thursday.

Floyd Nelson was last seen near the water, and officials said it was feared that he had fallen into the river just south of the Commodore Barry Bridge.

Mayor Wendell Butler said the U.S. Coast Guard and divers searched the waters until dark Thursday and the search resumed shortly after 8 a.m. Friday.

Oh, man, i hope everything turns out ok. :(

Authorities pulled a body from the Delaware River on Saturday and there is a "strong likelihood" it is the missing father of Magic star Jameer Nelson, police said.

Floyd "Pete" Nelson, 57, an employee at a tugboat company, was last seen Thursday working in a dry dock area in the Philadelphia suburb of Chester, Pa. Divers and trained dogs searched the river all day Friday but the search was suspended around 4 p.m.

Police in Delaware said a boater called 911 on Saturday after spotting the body of a black male floating in the river near Fox Point Park in Wilmington. The body was recovered around 2 p.m.

There was a "strong likelihood" that the body was Floyd Nelson's but police were unable to confirm it, said Delaware State Police spokesman Sgt. Joshua A. Bushweller.
:( Holy moly... poor Jameer. Ill be praying for his family, i hope they can move on after this tragedy.

Wow. This is probably the saddest news I've heard in a long time. I hope Jameer is well. I wonder if Dwight has heard the news, considering he is good friends with Jameer.

Considering how close the other players seems to be with Jameer - after all, it was he who's hosted the team's annual summer bonding experience for the past two years -- I imagine he's heard from everyone already.
