Best Ankle braces

^ Is it worth continuing competing if you have these problems?

My two boys have used ASO and they've been good.

I could swear it saved one of my sons from a broken ankle after landing on a player's foot after coming down from a rebound. The ankle was still very, very swollen.

FWIW Steph Curry wears Zamst braces.

does your child wear mid/high tops all the time?

If he does stop it, as it weakens the ankles.

Use regular shoes for regular use and basketball shoes for basketball.

“If it's just preventative, don't. It weakens the ankles.”

This. Strengthening exercising for the joint and surrounding muscles are much more important than getting a brace to do the bodies work for it.

More preventative than anything, but has had one or two minor sprains.

Has anyone got a recommendation?

I taped while doing balance training in my younger days. Now I use McDavids Ankle Brace with straps and I love it. Haven't had a sprain in years. Don't order online, you need to try them on. I was a size beneath recommended.

Ive had issues with my ankles in the past and have used tape and braces periodically. Rolled ankles are a part of basketball unfortuntely. Ive been informed ongoing use of these rigid braces and strapping can weaken the muscles around the ankle as they dont need to support the joint with the artificial support.

I currently use the wrap around ankle braces available at chemists, which dont provide as much support as ankle tape but are a cheap and easy way of giving some additional support and ive found them really good. They also dont impact on mobility. If i do have a weakened ankle i revert back to tape or my heavy duty braces for a few weeks.
