The reaction force exerted by a ball on the earth is hard to see because the earth is much heavier than the ball. It the ball were as heavy as the earth the earth will do feel the reaction.

A Basketball weighs about 1 and a half pounds, the Earth weighs 13,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds. It's sort of like asking why you don't feel the blow when a mosquito lands on you. The difference being that you only weigh 30,000,000 times more than the mosquito while the Earth weighs many, many, many, many, many times more than the ball.
