Sounds like you jammed it . When I was a kid I did it more than once,we had no money for a doctor so I never got mine checked and they work fine now. One of them was broken and has a slight deformation now.They take several weeks to heal.If you have medical coverage get it checked by an MD.
If you have pain use Tylenol rather than Advil or aspirin cause they thin the blood and will make the bruise worse and may slow healing. Keep it splinted for a week or so cause every time you hit it it will hurt.

You jammed your finger. Common when playing basketball. You should just continue to use a splint until its healed. Basically its sprained.

leave the splint on it for a couple days if it isnt better by like friday go see a doctor i think its probably just sprained but umm it might be broken...so just take 2 advil every 4 hours to help the swelling and the pain. if it feels a little bit better by friday leave the splint on till it doesnt but if it get worse...more pain, more bruising, more swelling...go see a doctor tomarrow

well, your friends would think it was cool if you cut it off! thats what id do!

Amputate immediately! And stop playing with big balls - they only cause trouble!
