After fracturing bones the masks allow them to play without worying about re-injury. Richard Hamilton of the Pistons broke a bone in his face twice. He is headled now but re injury could threaten his career, so he wears the mask every game. Lebron James wore a similar mask last year I believe, as did Joe Johnson last season w/ the Suns due to a broken orbital bone around his eye.

Usually, the mask protects their noses (in general) if they have broken it. Although, you can't imagine the plastic mask being that protective.

They've broken their nose or something else before. It so they don't break things anymore when they get elbowed in the face or something.

usually, it's because they have suffered broken bones in their faces, especially cheek bones.
