R.I.C.E: If its an acute or recent injury, first rest your ankle, ice it, compress it with an ace wrap or ankle brace and finally elevate your ankle above your heart. I also recommend taking anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen. And finally when your symptoms resolve, a custom orthotic with an ankle brace can reduce your basketball injuries in the future.
