Rodney Rogers, a former NBA and college basketball star, is paralyzed, ESPN and the News & Observer in Raleigh-Durham, N.C., reported.

Dave Odom, Rogers' former NCAA coach at Wake Forest, told the News & Observer that Rogers was paralyzed from the shoulders down as the result of an all-terrain vehicle accident.

According to the newspaper, Rogers was riding in the woods in rural North Carolina last week when he fell off the vehicle.

Rogers, 37, had a 12-year NBA career, during which he played for the Denver Nuggets, L.A. Clippers, Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics, New Jersey Nets, New Orleans Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers.

He entered the league as a first-round draft pick by the Nuggets in 1993 and retired after the 2004-2005 season.

As a college player at Wake Forest, Rogers was named the 1993 ACC Player of the Year and received All-America honors.
