After the game, I had just completed my shower and the trainer comes walking in. He wanted to make sure if I was alright and told me there was an ice pack waiting in the trainer's room for me to grab when I left. In addition, he told me to come in within a few days and he would show me a few exercises for my ankle.

Great job by this man who helped me and I certainly tip my cap to him.

I'm pretty sure tomorrow will be a rough day, but I'll make it through. My next game isn't until Thursday so I've got to be careful so I'm ready to hit the floor Thursday evening.

Any suggestions on what to do from those who have rolled their ankle before?

Thats Class act trainer. That's really cool of him to do it.
R.I.C.E. your ankle.

Rest
Ice

Dude. I use two braces when I work. Try using them. When you role it again,you will be surprised that the braces actually hold it up pretty well.
