This situation is analogous to a throw-in in which the player receiving the pass is standing with a foot on a boundary line. The touch is legal, but the contact with the boundary is not. The game clock should start and then stop.

Nevada, how is the touch legal? The jumper grabbed the ball with two hands. My understanding is that this is illegal.
