The force that wall exerts on the basket ball ...

Explanation:

According to the Newton's 3rd law, action and reaction forces work in opposite pairs. When we push the ball against the wall, the force is being exerted on the wall. In reaction, the wall pushes back with the force of same magnitude as was the action force applied by you on the basket ball against the wall.
