I injured my thumb possibly a sprain, and put it in a stabilizer. It's been three days, can I play basketball?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
As I have already explained in my answer to your previous question,a direct examination of your thumb and more details on how you sustained this injury in the first place are needed. For now I advise against playing sports since your thumb is still swollen and red/purple. This means that the healing process is still in the early phase and your thumb is still vulnerable to the least trauma.
