Rest. See a specialist if it isn't a normal amount of pain, as it could be an injury.
Chase performance, not fatigue.

Stretching will change your life drastically, changed mine.
"You have to do what others won't, to achieve what others don't"
"While most are dreaming of success, winners wake-up and work hard to achieve it."

I highly recommend going light on that knee. Basketball will really **** it up because of all the jumping and running. Trust me bro. I ****ed up my back playing team basketball last year and have never fully recovered. And don't let your coach pressure you into playing when your knees hurting like hell. Mine did and the result was not good. Health over sports anyday!

Once again I the obvious answer is to see a specialist. It is nearly impossible to diagnose someone without seeing them. It most likely is just jumpers knee or osgood coming on.
