About ago a week i was playing basketball and another ran into and i straight on my back wrist. i now have some pain.

Probable sprain: This may simply be a sprain of the wrist and cold applications and ibuprofen(if you can take them)help pain and inflammation. See a physician if there is swelling and severe pain. Ace wrap or wrist brace is a good idea if soreness persists.
