Basketball injuries refer to physical harms or trauma sustained by players during the sport of basketball. These injuries can occur due to the nature of the game, which involves running, jumping, pivoting, and sudden changes in direction. Common types of basketball injuries include sprains (particularly ankle sprains), strains, fractures, and contusions. The knees, ankles, and wrists are particularly vulnerable due to the high-impact and dynamic movements involved. Injuries can arise from direct contact with other players, falls, or overuse from repetitive motions. Proper training, conditioning, and the use of protective equipment can help reduce the risk of such injuries. Additionally, awareness and adherence to safety protocols during play are essential for injury prevention and management.
