Can't or can play basketball?

Is it a medical necessity, or some type of shackling program?

[edit]Oh I see, you mean in which you can play bball [/edit]

Don't play.

I used to play hoops until I fractured one ankle one year, then a few years later sprained the other one REAL bad.

Now when I walk up stairs, you can hear me coming. My ankles snap and pop with every step.

Let it heal first. You are tempting trouble by trying to play with a brace. The brace will not relieve all the stress you will put on it.

What does your Doc and PT say? They should have given you suggestions and/or requirements. The one that I had when I rolled my ankle 90° sideways was leather with long pockets that I could put the braces in as needed. I essentially had to wear that thing for a couple months and just added/removed varioous (in)flexible bars as needed.
