Hit By Soft Ball On Ankle. Applied Ice Pack. It Has Turned Purple. Able To Walk. Will I Be Able To Play?

Hi, I got hit by a softball yesterday right on my ankle and it hurt at the time but i immediately iced it in a trash can full of ice and cold water. And today i when i woke up i looked at it and the swelling looked as if it went down. I walked on it all day and it didnt hurt just felt sore but now that i got home from work about an hour ago and i took off my shoes and it is purple. I have a tournament this weekend will i be able to play? But it doesnt hurt to walk on thats a good sign right?
