There is some literature that does indicate compression shorts can reduce (other than patella) injuries. Supposedly, the compression material holds the muscles in place while they relax. When the muscles contract again, they don't have to take up any slack. It also helps to keep the muscles warmer thus increasing blood flow. I mainly wear them for running but don't care for them on the court. Being mostly Irish, my kneecaps are safe from everything but my elbows.
