The reward for the safe return of Cory Erving was doubled to $50,000, with the Philadelphia 76ers matching the $25,000 reward already offered by his father, NBA great Julius Erving.
Cory Erving, 19, and with a history of drug problems, was last seen by his family May 28, running an errand to buy bread for a picnic.
The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office reported the reward increase.
Officers said investigators have received more than 300 tips through a special hotline set up for the search.
