Yak coaches a seventh-grade travel basketball team in the Boca Raton area called Team 8.
Friends said they think Yak might have left for a run before going to coach the AAU team.
He left without his phone, wallet of Apple Watch, which they say he is always wearing.
Friends spent the day handing out flyers and asking neighbors to check their security cameras.
"I’m most worried that something did happen to him," Jonathan Eisdorfer, a friend, told WPTV's Briana Nesprel. "You hear crazy things nowadays. ... A very tough situation to swallow or to even have that thought in someone’s head."
Yak's family moved to the United States from Sudan when he was 8. He became a distance runner.
