Hi,
What I feel is there might be a ligament injury which can be called as a sprain or torn ligament. which usually occurs in the knee joint in major sports.
Getting it assessed by an orthopedist on a physical examination basis should help reveal more about the injury. Ice is used to reduce swelling and pain but for improving the healing we need hot ware fermentation and immobilization of the knee for 2-3 days at least.
Post which if no major injury is diagnosed then a graded exercise prescription is provided by which the sports activity can be regained with confidence.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
