Jammed finger?

while playing basketball, the ball hit me really hard, and i mean REALLY HARD, by a NCAA basketball coach. it didnt swell up but it hurts on the second line from the top. i already put ice on it. is it jammed/dislocated or did i just hurt it. i dont want to go to the doctor, because i already annoyed him enough.
Answer:
so can you bend the finger joint? If it did not swell it may not be broken. How long ago? Use a finger splint to immobilize the finger and see how it looks tomorrow. If it turns blue and swells you need to bother the doctor. If not and you can move the finger joint without pain then you could be okay.
Its more than likely be jammed. just keep icing it and try not to move it as much.
Put ice on it for 15 min, then take it off till your finger's temperature returns to normal. Do the same for about 1-2 hours if you can.
