Just make sure you eat enough to offset the calorie deficit and you will be fine. Or are you struggling to gain weight as it is?

Cardio is not actually a requirement for building muscle, but it won't hamper it either as long as it is done in moderation. Cardio is more for health benefits although some people believe it helps with lifting as well.

Cardio does not burn fat it burns calories. A long term calorie deficit will burn fat, but if you consume enough calories in your diet, basketball will not burn your fat.

I don't know how you play basketball but I doubt it will burn your fat and muscle away. It ain't so intensive. Maybe you should just eat more and better stuff.
I wouldn't regard basketball or any such game as cardio.

I have seen enough fat guys who play basketball. It doesn't seem to burn off their fat Cheesy

If you don't want to lose weight just consume an extra ammount of calories ( depends on how long you play ) that will be burnt while playing.
