Injuries in basketball are definitely the worst nightmare for athletes. I am very concerned of what it should be done to prevent injuries because that could change your entire career and your future. I found a study by Borowski in 2008 in the American Journal of Sports Medicine on high school basketball players, which looked at 100 high schools in the seasons 2005-2006 and 2006-2007. This study shows injury statistics of basketball players in high school.

The reason why I chose to search about this topic is because more than one time, athletes do not focus on the resting period or they are not aware of the importance of injuries. Resting when you should, eating habits and stretching are just some of the keys athletes have to follow to not have to worry about this issue.
I hope this information helps for the awareness of basketball players in order to be healthy. Remember, better be safe than sorry!
