Hepatitis C requires blood to blood contact. The blood of a hepatitis c infected person would have to enter your blood stream.
No risk for hep c from the incident you described.
Also we are not doctors we are patients supporting each other and sharing knowledge and experiences of living with and treating hep c

I did not notice that i had a broken skin and i continues to play, i notice only when we finished our game, there is chance that i had contaxt with other players sweat or blood because basketball is a physical game, still no risk in your opinion
Hepatitis C isn't transmitter through fingernails. Hepatitis C isn't that easy to get. You are fine.
