Severe injuries like ACL tears are not as common in basketball as they are in high-contact sports, but knee injuries — mostly minor sprains and strains — still have the third highest incidence of occurring in basketball. Prevention: Strengthening the muscles in your legs will help build better support for your knees, so this is one where hitting the gym can really help.
And as we mentioned above, always remember to thoroughly stretch before activity. If you know you have bad knees and are susceptible to injury, getting a good knee brace is also a smart idea. Prevention: Keeping your hands and wrists in healthy condition is more about awareness than anything else. And always keep an eye out for other players on the court. They cannot return to practice or play in a game until they are evaluated and given a written note by a doctor or other licensed healthcare provider trained in the evaluation and treatment of concussions.
Some signs and symptoms of concussion are confusion; problems with vision, memory, speech or balance; change in behavior or personality; headache; upset stomach or throwing up; sensitivity to light or sound; and feeling more tired than usual.
Muscle injuries can happen from overuse or lack of flexibility. Some muscle injuries may come with swelling, bruising and a visible indent in the muscle. Treat muscle injuries using the R. For a minor overuse muscle injury, also try light stretching. Treat bruises using the R. Light stretching and use of the joints above and below the injury can help prevent stiffness and pain.
It is common to jam a finger while playing basketball. Soak the hand in cold water for 20 minutes. You can protect the jammed finger by using medical tape to tape it to the next finger.

Patellofemoral syndrome represented Patellofemoral injuries were the most common reason for games missed n, 10 ; Finally, analysis of injury type revealed that sprains were the most common Professional basketball today has become a highly physical, high-contact sport. All reportable injuries were collected directly from NBA trainers and team physicians over a year period, and injuries rates were determined by demographics, body area, structure, pathology, and injury type.
Player demographics revealed no correlation between injury rate and age, height, weight, or years of NBA experience. This is an essential finding, given that agents and organizations constantly attempt to stratify and predict the injury risk for each player. If there were a correlation between injury rate and player demographics, players at higher risk could be cut from their team.
The finding that lateral ankle sprains were the most common injury Much attention has focused on prevention of ankle inversion injuries in basketball players.
Players generally wear mid- or high-top sneakers designed to protect the ankle, and many players tape their ankles or wear braces. The high frequency of ankle injuries suggests that more clinical and biomechanical research is necessary to improve protective shoe and ankle equipment. In , Henry et al reported on injuries that occurred in 71 professional basketball players over 7 years. During this period, the game became increasingly physical and played by larger individuals.
Both studies found that ankle injuries were the most common but that knee injuries accounted for the greatest number of games missed. Starkey reported on NBA injuries over a year period and similarly reported no correlation between injury rate and player demographics. The increase in size and speed of the players, as well as the improvement in diagnostic tools, may also be a factor in the injury increase. Meeuwisse et al reported on rates and risks of injury in Canadian intercollegiate competition.
Studies of elite basketball in Sweden and high school basketball in Texas also found that the ankle was the most commonly injured area, followed by the knee.
Several limitations may affect the accuracy of this study. The injuries in the database include only those reported by the team trainers according to the criteria outlined above. Minor injuries that did not meet the criteria are not included.
