Fortunately, very few basketball
injuries are life threatening. Some (like broken bones, concussions, and
ligament tears) can be quite serious, though. And while playing through the
pain can lead to serious muscle and joint problems over time.
Sprained ankles are the most common
basketball injuries, but jammed or broken fingers, bruises, bloody or broken
noses, and poked eyes are all too common as well. When playing outdoors,
abrasions (particularly to the palms and fingers) are always a risk.
Indoor ball presents its own hazards
in the form of walls and bleachers, and players are bound to collide going
after loose balls and rebounds wherever they play.
