He wears it, because of his gang tats he has to cover up due to league policy.

What he wears is called a shooting sleeve, they are made to warm your arm and prevent injury while playing, and also it is supposed to improve shooting form, but some people say they are just for show and not helpful at all, shooting sleeves can keep your arm warm and prevent injury, and many people say that they are fantastic.
