In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of injuries that NBA players sustain throughout the season. From ankle sprains to torn ACLs, players seem to be getting hurt more frequently and for longer periods of time. In this video, we delve into the various reasons why NBA players are getting injured and what can be done to prevent these injuries.
Firstly, we examine the physical demands that NBA players face on a regular basis. The NBA season is incredibly grueling, with players often playing multiple games per week and traveling long distances for away games. The constant wear and tear on their bodies can lead to fatigue, which in turn can increase the risk of injury.
Secondly, we look at the role of modern training techniques and equipment. While advancements in technology have helped athletes train more efficiently and effectively, they may also be contributing to the rise in injuries. For example, many NBA players now wear high-top sneakers to provide ankle support, but this can also limit their range of motion and put more stress on their knees.
Thirdly, we explore the impact of the NBA's rule changes in recent years, such as limiting contact and reducing the number of back-to-back games. While these changes were intended to reduce the risk of injury, some players argue that they have actually made things worse by disrupting their routine and forcing them to adjust their playing style.
Finally, we discuss what can be done to prevent injuries in the future. This includes implementing more comprehensive injury prevention programs, providing players with better rest and recovery opportunities, and educating athletes on how to manage their workload and maintain proper nutrition.
Overall, this video provides a comprehensive analysis of why NBA players are getting injured and what can be done to mitigate this issue. Whether you're a die-hard basketball fan or simply interested in sports medicine, this video is a must-watch for anyone looking to better understand the physical demands of the NBA.
Kawhi Leonard, a highly skilled NBA player, has a history of injuries that have affected his career. He suffered from a quadriceps injury during his time with the San Antonio Spurs, which resulted in him missing a significant portion of the 2017-2018 season. In 2019, he had to sit out several games due to a knee injury while playing for the Toronto Raptors. Later that year, he signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, but he was limited in his playing time due to a knee injury once again. Despite these setbacks, Kawhi continues to be a formidable player and remains a vital asset to his team.
Firstly, Zion Williamson is a very large and powerful athlete, which puts a lot of stress on his body. His body weight and size can put extra pressure on his joints and bones, making him more susceptible to injuries.
Secondly, his playing style may also contribute to his injury-proneness. Zion is an explosive player who relies on his athleticism to make plays, which can lead to high-impact movements that put stress on his body.
Thirdly, his lack of conditioning and preparation could also be a factor. Zion missed a significant portion of his rookie season due to a knee injury, which some speculate may have been due to his lack of conditioning during the offseason.
Steph Curry has a history of ankle problems, but there are several things he can do to manage and potentially fix them:
Rest and recovery: Rest is crucial for allowing the ankle to heal and recover. Steph may need to take a break from basketball and other high-impact activities to give his ankle time to heal.
Strengthening exercises: Physical therapy exercises that focus on strengthening the ankle and improving balance can help reduce the risk of future injuries. Exercises like calf raises, ankle circles, and resistance band work can be beneficial.
Proper footwear: Wearing appropriate shoes that provide ample ankle support can reduce the risk of ankle injuries. Steph may need to work with his trainer or a footwear specialist to find shoes that fit properly and provide the right amount of support.
Ankle braces/taping: Ankle braces or taping can provide additional support and stability to the ankle joint, reducing the risk of injury. Steph may benefit from using ankle braces or taping during games and practices.
Adjusting playing style: Steph may need to make some adjustments to his playing style to reduce the risk of ankle injuries. For example, he may need to focus on landing softly when jumping and avoid sudden changes in direction.
It is important to note that fixing ankle problems is not always a quick or easy process, and it may require a combination of the above strategies as well as ongoing management and prevention. Steph should work closely with his medical team and trainers to develop a personalized plan for managing his ankle problems.
Wembanyama is a yoga enthusiast and no big injury this season
I stretch everyday. it's has totally helped prevent injury.
It is a fact. Kids who specialize in one sport while growing up will have chronic injuries as an adult. IN today's day and age, I am sure a good percentage of pro athletes specialized in one sport. Look at Lamelo and Lonzo. That tells the whole story right there.
yeah, I also think cross training makes you better at all sports
Fun fact
Kids should make it a priority to play multiple sports, at least until they hit high school. Growing up all the kids that play as many sports as they could in middle school became top athletes in high school
We have requirements for max and super max deals tied to years in the league, all star games, all nba’s. Maybe add games played?
I think they're going to make it so all-star and all nba are tied to games played for eligibility. Ultimately every year it comes down to which players that can stay healthy that dictates who wins. I don't know why teams don't prioritize depth.
Nba players used to play 40 minutes a game. So I don’t understand how there are so many injuries now
they soft. that's how.
@@whatslapsmaybe its the rules? Due to the removal of the hand check more players have to defend with their lower body and making quick latterals. Maybe if we bring back hand check and allowed players to play with their upperbody more maybe the injuries will lessen?
I think it’s the pace. He mentioned we don’t really have post up possessions anymore. It’s not considered “efficient” offense. Running up and down and shooting as many threes as possible is the more efficient strategy. It’s much more running these days, and big men are suffering for it.
That's what the whole point of the video is?
I totally agree on stretching, you have to stretch and train your muscles and ligaments to be more flexible. Personally I’ve only sprained my ankle once despite twisting it many times playing sports, that’s because for as long as I remember I’ve trained my ankle flexibility even when I didn’t realize it as a kid. So glad I have flexibility ankles, I have avoided so many injuries
Exactly I do a stretching routine every other day and it's helped me avoid injury. I used to have really bad sciatica
i noticed that most players that got injured is that they are forcing it too much. if you just play 80% all the time you wont get injured. its a bad thing to go all out everynight specially if you have to play 82 games.
I agree. If I surf three days in a row my rotator cuff will get messed up.
Back w another banger video
every week, babycake!
Just wanted to say thank you for mentioning Yoga with Adriene. When I watched this video a month ago, I always wanted to integrate yoga into my workouts. Since I saw this it’s been a month and I completed one of Adriene’s 30 Day Challenge’s! You’re one of my new favorite discoveries on UA-cam. Keep up the good work.
Nice dude! I incorporate it into my fitness routine too. A little bit of Tai chi as well.
Great vid!
Your positive engagement is appreciated!
Wow man I actually learn a lot from this as basketball player
you and me both brother
u have good voice man, keep it up
Thank you! hope you enjoyed the vid!
You are the first person I ever saw suggest expanding the roster.
I'd like to see more fans be invested in the team in its entirety. Rather than 1 superstar on their local team.
Totally agree, I’m a long suffering Nets fan lol. But I’ve always been interested in seeing the smaller pieces that make a team great. For example Though not small, I think it was incredibly underrated when the GSW signed Andre Iguodala.
Thanks for the response 🤘
Great stuff dude!!!
Thanks brotha !
Remember me when you’re famous
I'll never forget you
Well said fam. My only question is how does Zion's team be able to devleop a training process to mitigate the injuries. His playing style is not gonna change, and he would do exploding dunks all the time. Find a way to land? Shoot more? Those are kind of unrealistic. I think Bridges just does not have such an aggressive play style cuz his role model is KD, who injured a lot bc of fancy dribbles and quick pull up, while he is more of a consistent 3D player. Just my observation.
Maybe play morr post offense, closer to the basket. Its better to play with the upper body than the lower body.
All that load management for no reason.
It's almost like it's ineffective.
I should really start following along with Adriene gain. My wife and briefly had it in our routine and my body started to love it...but I am a fool so I just stopped. Healthy habits are hard
eventually they're as addictive as bad habits which is pretty cool.
I would argue that Boston told Isaiah Thomas about the risks of him playing with an injury but he read between the lines and knew he had to play or they would trade him.
ooh. that's interesting angle.
This was a really good video, well done…
much appreciated, my brother
One thing for sure, this era of NBA is more talented than their predecessor, but they wont last a season because of injury bugs.
OG's are durable asf, unlike players today
perhaps the higher level of talent creates a more vulnerable style of ball?
or maybe they're just babies
@@whatslaps And they all walked backward through the snow six miles uphill barefoot each way to school. Seriously, I grew up watching basketball during the '80s & '90s. Larry Bird was still a smoker when he entered the league. Simmons was more right about defense than anything else.
You deserve more subscribers.
pray for subs my brother
Zion might go down as the biggest what if in nba history
Yeah, it's a real bummer man. I think I'm going to cry.
Nah, it's Penny Hardaway.
Literally the biggest "what-if." he shoulda taken Chuck's advice and dropped 25 pounds.
That goes to ronaldinho or neymar they were proven beasts already but have a lot more to bring they just refuse to make it real
@@bomnitoperro9422I don’t think either of them were in the NBA?
Walt "Clyde" Frazier said yoga helped his body.
I'm big into Tai chi lately.
Remember me too
you're unforgettable
Also no one wants to talk about this one, steroid put you at greater risk for tendon injury.
that's true. Roids are gnarly on your system.
Your biggest fan back at it with another comment. Your stuff is always so friggin awesome, I love it! Definitely a couple of side eyes for "length of season" and "too much working out" being reasons for lots of injuries. Lots of miles on the body early is an interesting observation, consistent high impact sooner in life has got to have an effect. Steph, Kawhi and Thomas are all good unique case studies, you can have some of the best physical trainers help create a way to help resolve an issue, you can try and avoid an issue but probably have to deal with the consequences of not being rewarded for that, or you can do your best to tough it out and then learn the hard way that in the end it is still a business and you might not be given loyalty. I'm not sure what to make of Zion, the "what could have been" with him is one of the biggest facepalms the league has maybe ever seen, kind of a shame, but sheesh man, da heck?! That's awesome that Bridges hasn't missed a game! I'm with you on giving props to guys who consistently play and contribute to help their team and earn their paycheck. Anyway, props to you as well again for your weekly gem, can't say it enough, appreciate you fam, thank you.
I really like the NBA to do some sort of "Hard Knocks" or "All or Nothing" documentary following an NBA team. I think it would be interesting to see day to day what these guys go through with the medical staff and with management. I feel like the NBA is the league with the most drama and intrigue, but we have no idea what's going on in the locker room. I feel weird speculating sometimes about a players dedication or work ethic, but all I can do is comment on what I see.
Always appreciate the comment! See you next week!
@@whatslaps BTW “he be juicin’?” was probably the highlight of this vid to me 😬
haha, he for sure ain't be juicin
Improving flexibility is good for you. Yoga...not always.
sure, but yoga makes stretching more fun. also adds a little meditation aspect to it.
This is good vid

Celtics will not win a championship unless they do right by IT the basketball gods where like fuck you your cursed after that play
