Sounds like a bruised vein, and you may have popped a vessel there. Put some ice on it, and it will go down in a few days. Take some advil for the pain and swelling. There isn't a rock in there. :-)
Baby your foot for a while, and don't aggrevate it by playing basketball until the swelling and pain goes away ok.
Take care. Feel better soon.

It is probably a bruse or popped blood vessel in the place where the major part of the impact happened. Sense it wasn't a big area and I assume you laded on it pretty had it is probably a very bad bruise. No medical emergency though

I doubt if a rock is stuck in yer foot,,,
You prolly stepped on a rock or got a splinter or
something similar,
Douse it with peroxide and take a good look!
Otherwise go see your doc

Maby it was just like a bruise like you said, but i would ask someone who you can show this to. Or a doctor
