Is basketball really a dangerous sport?

Answer 1

All sports involving physical activity can result in injury, sometimes serious injury. Whether a particular sport is "dangerous" depends on how you define "dangerous." Some are more dangerous than others.

Basketball is one of the net games, and it's not particularly dangerous, because most of the activity is dribble, pass and shoot, does not involve intentional body contact. However, there is jumping and occasional unintentional body contact that can result in sprains, bruises, and even broken bones.
