Basketball is a demanding and dynamic sport, and as such, it requires movements that lead to specific injuries and injury mechanisms that differ from other sports. These demands have greatly increased over the past two decades as rule changes have accelerated the pace of the game, thereby increasing the physiological demands on basketball players. Ankle injuries may be relatively less serious concerning time lost in the sport, but prevention efforts are highly important due to the recurrence of the same injury. Preventing ankle injuries is crucial, especially for athletes already at risk of injury. Various methods are employed in prevention, and combining all these methods can yield the best results. Proprioceptive exercises play a role in improving postural stability and reducing functional instability. Kinesio taping is used to reduce pressure and improve blood and lymphatic flow, while adapted footwear must be designed to provide additional stability. Warm-up and strengthening exercises enable better performance, greater joint mobility, balance, and strength. Proper jumping and landing techniques must be implemented in training and are key in preventing ankle injuries, and it is important to individually investigate each basketball player's technique in measurement conditions. Orthoses can contribute to joint stability in dynamic conditions. Coach education is of great importance because their knowledge and proper application of techniques can help reduce injuries. The application of artificial intelligence is already greatly beneficial in prevention as it allows for the calculation and prediction of injuries in risky conditions. Preserving the health of basketball players must be the focus of every prevention program.
