Former Sixth Man of the Year Rodney Rogers dies at 54

The NBA family is deeply saddened by the passing of Rodney Rogers.  Rodney earned the Sixth Man of the Year Award while playing for the Phoenix Suns and was a beloved teammate during his 12-year NBA career.

He will be remembered not only for his achievements on the court but also for the extraordinary resilience, courage and generosity that he demonstrated throughout his life — qualities that inspired so many.  We send our heartfelt condolences to Rodney’s wife, Faye, and their family.
