What to notice
Minutes played do not tell the whole story. A short game with repeated rebounds and defensive changes of direction can feel different from a relaxed shooting session. Note contact injuries separately.
Practical next steps
- Compare game load with your usual practice, including extra jump drills.
- Choose comfortable everyday movement while the legs settle; skip painful jumps.
- Check shoes and the court surface before the next session.
When to get help
Arrange assessment for persistent or worsening pain, swelling or difficulty using the area normally. After an injury, seek urgent help for severe pain, deformity, numbness or inability to bear weight.
