I think I sprained my ankle

I was playing some pickup basketball games last night, and I went up for a rebound and came down on my foot wrong and seemed to have twisted it. Well, it hurt for a bit, but when I went home, it was basically fine.

I woke up this morning, and I can barely walk on my right foot. I did a little bit of research online, and it seems that the anterior talofibular ligament is the most commonly sprained ligament, but I won't know the decisive answer until I go to the hospital this evening.

How long does it typically take to recover from a sprained ankle, and what will the doctor do at the hospital? Will I have to wear a boot? How long can I expect to be out of the gym for? I was planning on doing legs today, but after injuring my foot last night, I knew I wouldn't be able to do it for a couple days, but after this morning, I know for a fact I'll be out of commission for AT LEAST two weeks.
