Cartilage injury: Basketball often occurs in some body contact or collision, by the external force, easy to cause ankle cartilage injury. Try to rest as much as possible during the injury period and reduce the exercise. 3.

The amount of exercise will increase the wear and tear of the ankle joint, resulting in ankle pain.
