Is this a muscle or tendon tear?

I know that it is hard to evaluate a person over the internet without seeing an mri, but i would like your opinion of what you might think is wrong with me. Currently im on crutches and having severe pan in my right hip area. There is major swelling in my right glutues maximus and brusing along my hip bone area. I can barely walk on my right leg and puts me in extreme pain whenever i try to get up. Now im experiencing pain down the back of my right leg along with the hip pain. I am not able to cross my right leg to my left side and i can barely pick up my right leg. Can you please give me your opinion on my situation?

Well I'm 17 years old and I've been like this for about a week with no change, it happened in a basketball game

Not only are there no imaging studies, but no history either.  This could be anything from a hip fracture, to avascuar necrosis, to bursitis, to a piched nerve in your back.  I suggest immediate evaluation by an orthopedist.
