Rodney Rogers Paralyzed

Former Wake Forest star and NBA player Rodney Rogers is being transferred from Duke Hospital to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta after a severe injury on his all-terrain vehicle. Not much is known about the injury, however, Roger’s coach at Wake Forest, Dave Odom, has said that Rodney is paralyzed from the shoulders down.

Rogers had a stellar career at Wake Forest, and while his NBA career did not go as planned, he had some very memorable moments. The one that I remember the most was watching Rodney as a rookie on February 8, 1994 against the Utah Jazz make 3 3-pointers in 9 seconds to almost bring the win to the Nuggets. Unfortunately, Jeff Malone ruined the momentum by hitting a jumper with 12 seconds left.

From all of us at InGameNow, I would like wish Rodney best of luck with his recovery. I know he always played with all he could, and will do all he can to recover fully.
