Welcome to the neurology forum of medhelp. Thanks for posting in. You have been hit by a moving basket ball with apparent impact. It could have caused concussion, hemorrhage inside. There is an entity called second impact syndrome, which results from the cumulative effects of successive sport mediated  injuries which may be mild individually but there is increased cumulative risk. There can be diffuse brain swelling or raised intracranial tension or a subdural hematoma which may require surgical relief depending on the CT findings. I strongly suggest that though you do not have signs of raised intracranial tension, you consult a neurosurgeon for evaluation, clinical and CT guided, lest something important be missed. Hope this information helps.
