Remembering Rodney Rogers, gone at 54 but impossible to forget

Posted Dec 28, 2025
Rodney Rogers, a Sun from 1999 to 2002 and a one-of-one presence in franchise history, has passed away. He wore number 54 like nobody else, and heartbreakingly, that’s the age he was when he left us. Rogers grew up in Durham, North Carolina, and starred at Wake Forest (where his number is retired) before the Denver Nuggets took him ninth overall in the 1993 NBA Draft. (Bright Side Of The Sun)
