Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 20 - Ryan Anderson (2008-09)
The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the "New Jersey Americans". Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today. To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 21st of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 20, which has has had a total of 28 players wear the number in the history of the team. The 21st of those players wearing No. 20 played in the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, big man alum Ryan Anderson. After ending his college career at California, Anderson was picked up with the 21st overall selection of the 2008 NBA draft by the Nets. The Sacramento, California native played just one season with New Jersey before he was dealt to the Orlando Magic in 2009. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Anderson wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 7.4 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard fears the 'spark' with boyfriend Ken Urker is gone after welcoming baby girl
Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her boyfriend didn't seem to be on the same page when it comes to their relationship in Monday's season two finale of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up. The reality star, 33 — who broke down in tears earlier this month because of the 'reputation war' with her ex-husband — lamented that things with her new guy weren't going so well. 'Everything is day by day right now, so we're just winging it,' she told the cameras. She and boyfriend Ken Urker are not allowed to live together while she is still on parole. 'It's hard to kind of keep up a relationship whenever you're living in two separate places, and you've got schedules that interfere,' Blanchard explained. And there are some communication issues between the two who share daughter Aurora, almost five months. 'I want cuddles. I want snuggles. I want words of affirmation,' she said in a confessional. 'For Ken, it's like he doesn't think about anything like that. I don't get it. You might feel love. Yeah, you love me, okay. You say you love me, but you don't show it,' she said. As the new parents juggle their schedules and living conditions, one problem has been solved. A DNA test proved that her ex-husband Ryan Anderson is not the baby's father, and the next step is to have his name removed from the little one's birth certificate. Louisiana law states that if a child is born while the mother is married, or within 300 days of the divorce being finalized, the husband is presumed to be the father. 'Like, is it gone for you? Is that like the spark, the flame, the energy, you know what I'm saying,' she asked Ken. 'I think a lot of things has drained us,' she said. 'We need to have more communication. And I think that we both just need to open up more, about the realistic expectations of each other.' In the episode, Blanchard revealed she and Urker had been 'intimate for the first time in a long time,' and were beginning to re-establish their connection. Things seemed to be gong well on Tuesday, months after the finale was shot, as Blanchard posted a family photo on social media. 'Wandering the French Quarter with my two loves ❤️ Life doesn't get much better than this,' she wrote next to the sweet snap. During a family trip to the zoo, Blanchard, who served eight years of a 10-year prison sentence for assisting in the murder of her mother, released a butterfly as a symbol of freedom as she will soon be off parole. 'When she's finally off parole, we can actually travel and go see more stuff,' Urker said. 'And she's been the best mother I could ever want for my child, and I'm super proud that I get to go on this journey with her,' he told the cameras. 'The three of us are experiencing life in an all-new way. It's been glorious. I love every minute of it. I'm the happiest I've ever been.' Urker, who was spotted looking for engagement rings, said he planned to propose when her parole is completed, on her 'first day of true freedom.' 'It's about reassuring her that I'm committed to us,' he said about his plans to pop the question. 'There's nobody else I want to experience life with other than her.'

Ontario students warned over ‘senior assassin' game after high school lockdown
After a lockdown was put in place at a high school and teens were arrested at gunpoint at the beginning of May, Guelph police are following in the footsteps of many police departments in the U.S. by issuing a warning to students about playing the 'senior assassin' game. 'The popular game known as 'Senior Assassin' involves high school students competing to eliminate fellow participants by shooting them with water guns or other projectiles within a specified time period,' police said in a release. The service then noted that the game is not just played during school hours but after hours as well. Guelph police said one of the main issues is that the weapons used in the game often look realistic, which creates concern for others in the community, including some who are playing the game, and police can be called in. Story continues below advertisement That is what happened on May 1, when a high school in Guelph was placed on lockdown briefly as officers responded after it was reported that teens with guns were inside a car outside the school.

Police say the trio were warned for possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and will complete an educational diversion program through the John Howard Society rather than face charges. The incident in Guelph is not the only one police have been forced to deal with, as there have been several reported throughout the U.S. in recent months. In Texas, a high school senior fell out of the back of a Jeep last month while playing the game and hit his head. He remains in hospital on life support, according to CBS News. And in Florida in February, a police officer shot an 18-year-old in the arm after a group of young people were spotted lurking around a car in the dark, according to NewsNation affiliate WFLA. 'The homeowner was alerted,' Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said. 'There's some people in her driveway, so she did what most would do, go check it out. And unfortunately, one of the students has a water pistol, but it looks like a gun in the dark, you can't tell the difference.' Story continues below advertisement The officer, who was off-duty at the time, responded to the call and shot an 18-year-old in the arm. Police said he is expected to make a full recovery. Last year, there were also issues in Ontario's Halton Region, as police reported seven incidents in a one-week period in which residents reported seeing young people with firearms on school grounds and residential streets. Const. Ryan Anderson told Global News the assassin game had escalated across the area, and had led to a couple of teens being charged in Georgetown. 'This year we're seeing a lot of guns that look like Glock-style handguns, and obviously members of our public are concerned when they're seeing this,' Anderson said.
