Got hit in the head with a basketball about a week ago near my temple and my temple still aches and feels weird from it.

Temple pain: It's possible you may have residual pain secondary to the impact of the basketball. Was it a hard impact at a high speed? If this is the case and you're having residual headaches I would recommend getting a CT head to evaluate for any concussion like symptoms or mild brain swelling that could be the cause of your residual pain.
