Without seeing a picture its a little hard (whining, now).

On the basketball layer have you tried Levels (Individual Controls) – Maybe up the Red Output Black (under the Red twirly).

And Shadows/Highlight if the dark spot persists.

Then maybe some Hue/Saturation to get the colors right.

All of the above are under Effect>Adjust.
