I fell at basketball practice right onto my knee. it now hurts really bad when i bend it but it feels fine when i put weight on it. when i bend it, it hurts on the right side of my knee. also hurts when touched. does anyone know what this could be?

It could be a simple injury without any damage to the ligament(s) or meniscus. After the injury because of the swelling with contusion with likely some blood inside the joint, moving of the knee will cause pain and pain with palpating the knee. Standing (weight bearing) doesn't cause pain is a good sign. Rest the knee, apply cold pack, wrap the knee & elevating the knee when lying down + Advil OTC
