He's not alone. Other teams have players that wear them.

This is why people do it idk why you got down voted. It's the same thing as wearing long socks or a headband. There no purpose it's just in style.

Because it doesn't look cool that is why they do it though

DWade started the leggings movement about ten years ago

They DO help keep your legs warm and loose if you have troubles with lower-body muscle issues but it's ridiculous when you see 9/10 y/o kids running around in them

They say that it keeps the muscles warm when you aren't moving, but we all know why they wear them.

It allows Ben Simmons to get more girls.

I know for a fact from when I was playing a sweat band did not fulfill its job. If someone is wearing anything extra its purely style. The only thing not for style we had to wear was ankle braces. A team a few years before ours lost 3 seniors to sprained/broken ankles so our coach mandated ankle braces or you couldn't play

The neoprene knee braces do help as well. A lot of big men wear them.

NBA has a rule that shorts have to be at your knees. Can't tell if they are too long if you're wearing leggings so that's why all the players wear them.

Anyone ever wore copperwear? I beat that stuff is awesome.

And would work good for basketball, if it does what it says it does.
