Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury to the eye while playing basket ball following which you are having redness of the eyes.
This is commonly because of subconjunctival hemorhage.Subconjunctival hemorrhage resolves by itself over 10-14 days and does not require any treatment.
However eye examination is required to rule out any traumatic damage to the eye. Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and confirmation of diagnosis.
Thank you
