Dirk Nowitzki Trusts Bauerfeind
Ranking sixth in the NBA's all-time scoring list, 14-time NBA All-Star and Basketball Hall-of-Famer Dirk Nowitzki has worn Bauerfeind braces since 2008. Since discovering the GenuTrain knee brace in 2008 and wearing it again after knee surgery in 2012, Nowitzki credited Bauerfeind in part for his longevity in basketball.
“The good thing about this brace is it gives you a little support, but it doesn’t limit my movement,” Nowitzki said. “You feel that something is warm and it’s holding (your knee) together somewhat. … It’s kind of a no-brainer; now we’ll see if people love it as much as I do.”
What are the most common injuries in basketball players?
Some of the most common basketball injuries include: ankle sprain, knee sprain, pulled thigh muscles, ligament tears and injuries to the wrist and forearm. To support your joints in basketball, Bauerfeind's braces, supports and compression sleeves use a breathable compression knit fabric to improve circulation and prevent excessive strain.
