What would be the most painful injury to sustain in basketball?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A Broken Heart: Actually, there are many possible injuries one could encounter in basketball. Anything from a concussion to a badly broken ankle. By far and away the most common injury (as indicated by submitted drg codes) is a sprained ankle. This can be quite painful and is best treated/prevented by use of s stirrup type ankle brace. Next nba game you see, look how many players have these braces on!
