Answers:
I also play basketball, and in this past season i experienced the same thing!. The first thing you should do is follow the rules of rice!. R=rest, stay off it for a little while and don't play basketball for a while, I know, tragic, but you need to give yourself time to heal!. I=ice, even though ice seems to have minimal effect, keep doing it, it WILL help!. C= compression!. Run to the drug store and get an ace bandage and wrap your knee in it!. E=elevation, keep your knee elevated when sitting down!.
Also, you can alternate ice with a heating pad to soothe pain
Also try taking an ibuprofen
If you don't see improvement within a week or two, call a doctor, you
may have a more serious injury called hyperextension
