Basketball sleeve

Made out of nylon and spandex, it extends from the biceps to the wrist.

[2] Allen Iverson began using a basketball sleeve during the 2000-01 season due to bursitis in his right elbow.

[5] Other players, including Ray Allen, Vince Carter, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Paul Pierce, John Wall, Kyrie Irving, Dwyane Wade, Paul George, Kobe Bryant,[6] and LeBron James[2] have worn the sleeves as well.

Iverson continued wearing his basketball sleeve long after his elbow had healed.

Some players believe the mild compression they provide helps keep their shooting arm warm and improves circulation.
