Explanation:

First of all you have to identify what type of injury does the basketball team had. Is it a sprain? A cramp? A break? If it is a sprain (the most common injury for basketball players) you need to perform first aid. The acronym namely RICE (Rest, Ice, Compress and Elevate) is the best thing to do. Have him in a comfortable position and NEVER move the injured part. Then after that, have him admitted to a clinic for further examination if he can continue to play. Of course as an athetic trainer, you are responsible to the health status of your players so stretch session is a must for prevention of further injuries.
