I understand what you're going through!. I just sprained my ankle a week and a half ago and couldn't afford to go to the doctors!. My ankle is a lot better now!.
I went through the standard PRICE procedures!. Protection Rest Ice Compression and Elevation!. I bought an ace bandage and a brace from the Grocery Outlet for $5 each (Protection and Compression)!. Rested for a few days!. Iced it once every couple hour and elevated as much as I could!.
Also I found that Arnica Cream helped a lot in reducing the inflammation!. You can find the at a natural foods store/pharmacy such as Whole Foods!.
There are many other rehab steps to take as time progresses!. Check out: http://www!.physioroom!.com/injuries/ankle!.!.!.
Just remember to be diligent in the process!. When you damage the your ligaments your body doesn't rebuild the ligament, it only scars, so remember to be careful in the future as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's too late for RICE + Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation!.
The purple color is from the bleeding into the tissues associated with the sprain!.
Before returning to basketball you need rehab!. Also, with the pain persisting this long, you may have more than a sprain, perhaps an avulsion fracture or other!.
Even if there is not a fracture, improper rehabilitation before returning to sports almost certainly will result in re-injury!.
See the doctor, pay the money!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You want to fix your ankle problem without going to the doctor!? Cut your lower leg off!. No ankle, no ankle problem! Although you'll still need to see a doctor to do something about your bleeding stump!.
You need anti-inflammatory drugs and an ankle support, and some time off that leg!.
All of which a doctor can provide with a prescription, a brace and a note to get you sick leave!. Looks like you're going to have to find some cash!. And then get yourself some insurance!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could be turning purple because of broken blood vessels, thats what bruising is!. If it is swollen, put some ice on it and elevate it!. Try to stay off of it and let it heal as quickly as possible!. Lots of people don't understand this, but sprains and strains actually take longer to heal than a break or a fracture!. Make sure you take care of it!. If you're still not sure about there being something wrong, ask someone you know if they know of a doctor that would be willing to take a look at it for free - as a friend!.
