Ankle strengthening: exercises are widely available and should definitely be done. And this for the long run, not just short term, especially given your basketball career (professional or recreational). Here is an example of these exercises: http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/sport-injuries/ankle-achilles-shin-pain/sprained-ankle/ankle-sprain-exercises Good luck and keep on grinding.
