One Time Former Sixers Player Rodney Rogers is Paralyzed

There is sad news to report today. Former Sixers player Rodney Rogers, who played with the team in the 2004-05 season, is paralyzed from the shoulders down.

He suffered the injury last week in an all-terrain vehicle accident in Vance County, N.C. Rogers was a tremendous player at Wake Forest and a good role player throughout his career in the NBA, was the league's Sixth Man Award winner in 1999-00 with the Phoenix Suns.

Our sorrows and prayers here at "South Broad Street" go out to him and his family.
