Ankle pain after basketball but no swelling

[mr beast]

are you stretching properly before and after the games?

foam roll also helps tremendously, try "foam rolling" using a golf or tennis ball for the bottom of your feet.

also, do some ankle stability, mobility exercises, strengthening your ankles can possible help with your problems.

Grade 1 sprains are light sprains that usually allow return to sport in 2-3 weeks. Grade 2 ankle sprains involve greater injury to the ligament and can take up 4-6 weeks to allow full return to sport. Grade 3 injuries are more severe in nature and often involve full tearing of the ligament and possible bone fracture.
