Blood thinners can be safe and easy to use. There are cautions when using blood thinners and playing sports so be careful cause your at risk of injury. A very hard fall or bump could seriously injure someone. Basketball is a bit of a contact sport so there are limitations while playing. Stay away from a lot of contact such as elbows to the head or face, and fouls because a hard fall and you could wake up in the hospital. So it's best not to play organized basketball, but a quick pick up game won't hurt as long as your playing safe.
