Raptors’ Rogers May Give Kidney

Carlos Rogers of the Toronto Raptors is considering donating a kidney to his older sister, who is awaiting a transplant.

The 25-year-old forward would be risking his career, although it is not yet known if he would have to give up basketball.

Rogers says he is the only member of his family with a kidney compatible for transplant to his 29-year-old sister, Rene.

“I can’t have my sister die,” Rogers said Tuesday. “This is something I’m going to have to discuss with Isiah [Thomas, the Raptors’ general manager].”

Dennis Rodman, appearing on ABC’s “Primetime Live” Wednesday night, said his controversial kick was only a “tap.”

“I apologized,” said Rodman, who has agreed to pay cameraman Eugene Amos $200,000. “But most people in the world would say he’s acting.

“It would have been more of a headache to drag this out like an O.J. trial,” the Bull forward said.

Chicago Coach Phil Jackson, in an excerpt aired by Chicago’s WLS-TV news but not included in the ABC show, said Rodman “has four fouls and two strikes against him.”

“I don’t think he has any more strikes,” Jackson said.
