Knee injury during badminton – how long should I rest before playing again?

I twisted my knee while lunging for a shot during a badminton game last weekend. I heard a slight popping sound and noticed some swelling later that evening. I can still walk, but my knee feels unstable whenever I change direction or go downstairs. I’ve been resting and applying ice, but it hasn’t fully settled.

Could this be a ligament injury, and would an MRI be needed to identify the problem? I’m also wondering whether physiotherapy is usually enough or if surgery may be necessary in more serious cases. How soon is it safe to return to playing sports?
