What Knee Braces do NBA Players Wear? 

Whether you are sitting court side or couch side, you have most likely seen a basketball player sporting a knee brace. In fact, seeing a basketball player without a knee brace on is a rare occurrence, and it’s not for the sake of fashion. Knee braces work to stabilize the knee, prevent common basketball injuries, soothe current injuries, and ultimately keep players strong, confident, and in the game.
