Should I Be Worried About Pain After A Knee Hit?

Just hit my knee, about one hour ago, head on with another players knee playing basketball. Now my knee (just to the inside of my left knee cap) has a big goose-egg on it and it hurts to put pressure on my leg when I stand up so I'm limping. I have ice on goose-egg now. I did not twist knee .... just a hard hit.
