Ice, ice, ice and more ice. Oh, and elevate it.

The biggest challenge will be getting the swelling down. Ice it on and off throughout the day and some ibuprofen will be helpful (and necessary, depending on the pain). Move it a lot in between icing. My wife is a physical therapist, and she calls ice the "magical medicine" that nobody uses anymore.

How does it look today? Lots of swelling? If it's not too bad, you'll just be stiff and sore for a couple days.

Before the game tomorrow take extra time to warm up and get as much movement in the ankle as possible. Good luck!
