Would an injury sustained during an afternoon break basketball game on company property be covered under workers' compensation law?

This was not during an off the clock lunch break but the afternoon break required by law.

It might be, depending upon the particular facts of the situation. Does the employer encourage the playing of the game by supplying a net, court, balls, shower rooms, supervisors trying to get those they oversee to play, employees get extra pay or benefits for staying in shape, etc. Or are they just very informal pick up games with no particular benefit to the employer so not covered? And is the injury from reckless and willful misconduct by the injured employee [would have to be some bad foul].
