DonJoy Performance, a consumer division of DJO Global Inc., a global provider of medical device solutions for musculoskeletal health, vascular health and pain management, signed professional basketball player Brandon Ingram of the Los Angeles Lakers to its roster of professional athletes.
After suffering from knee tendinitis late in the season, Ingram recognized the role that bracing and support products play during the basketball season. As an ambassador of DonJoy Performance products, Ingram will promote the use of braces and support sleeves for injury prevention and recovery.
“Injuries are a part of basketball, no matter what level you’re at,” said Ingram. “I want to make sure I have a long-standing, successful career, and DonJoy Performance products will play a key role in ensuring that I stay healthy and in the game.”
“We are excited to team up with Brandon at the beginning of his career and provide him with the leading sports medicine products needed to help prevent injuries and keep him in the game,” said Charlie Setzler, GM, DonJoy Performance.
Ingram was the No. 2 pick in the 2016 NBA draft and is known for his work ethic, attitude and fundamentally sound game. He is part of a young nucleus of players that Lakers fans hope will bring the franchise into a new era of championship play.
