I think that most Basketball players just wear a regular kind of a jockstrap without a cup. However, some high school basketball players wear a cup because they are concerned about getting hit in their sensitive area. When I played basketball in my teens, a couple of the guys on our team awlays wore a cup.

Yes we do wear cups
Baseball players all wear a cup. Their bulge is misleading.
Yes, either with a cup for sports with direct contact, or just for support when running or playing non-contact sports.
