There may be cotton sleeves which players wear. There are also neoprene and spandex. I have a game used A.I. sleeve which is made of spandex. The Philadelphia 76ers equipment manager, Scott Rego, told me A.I. would wear the sleeve to prevent court burn (due to A.I.'s aggressive playing style which resulted in him getting knocked to the floor). I've heard of "I have Game worn Sneakers" or "I have game worn jerseys", but this man is collecting game worn bandages and what not.
I spent 10 years in the league. I have a fairly comprehensive idea of the equipment used and for what functionality (and/or) practicality.
