What are the dangers of playing basketball?

Answer 1

This all depends on your definition of dangerous. Relative to Rugby or Football Basketball seems rather tame but relative to Golf or tennis the sport seems brutal.

Common basketball injuries include sprained ankles, being hit with an elbow, and jammed fingers. More serious injuries do exist but they are significantly less common.

As strange as it may sound, basketball is actually one of the most dangerous sports. This is a theory agreed upon by many many doctors.

Answer 3

It depends. If you play rough, or too long, you could tear a hamstring, ACL, MCL, labrum, a tendon in your fingers. There are numerous injuries. Don't be discouraged though, I've played for many years and never been injured. Basketball is a lot safer than football. NBA players typically last a while and don't get injured. I highly suggest you play the sport.
