The Philadelphia 76ers will fill their latest open slot on the roster by signing veteran shooting guard Rayjon Tucker.

Perhaps the worst nightmare for any parent is to learn their child has been shot in school. Fred Guttenberg’s nightmare started on Valentine’s Day 2018 when his 14-year-old daughter, Jaime, was shot and killed at Marjory Stoneham Douglas High School in Parkland.
On Jan. 28 at 4 p.m., BIG ARTS Talking Points will launch its 2021 season with a virtual conversation with Guttenberg. It will be the first in a six-week series of topical engaging talks.
Guttenberg will describe his journey as a grieving parent searching for ways to give meaning to Jaime’s senseless death, to advocate to make schools safer and to fight for gun safety, and to author a book, “Find the Helpers: What 9/11 and Parkland Taught Me About Recovery, Purpose, and Hope.”
