Might have a broken finger?

I was playing basketball on Saturday, I went for a steal, hit the ball pretty hard, and thought I hurt my finger. I stayed in the game, and got swatted on the same finger. i knew something was wrong. I have a huge bruise on the 2nd joint of my index finger, but i can bend it most of the way. I can make a fist. If someone can tell me if my finger is just jammed or broken, I would appreciate.

    sounds like it just might be jammed. either way though, a broken finger or a jammed finger, all you can do it put a splint on it. try pulling it gently out with some force and if you dont feel or hear a pop then stop. just keep a splint on it for a few days and stay away from basketball for a few days as well. you can buy a splint at any drug store. hope this helps!
