Knee pain

In basketball practice I made a cut and felt a sharp pain in my right knee. After that, running and jumping has caused much pain in my knee. I went to an athletic trainer and they told me I had tendinitis and to ice and take ibuprofen. It continues to be very painful during practice. I can feel rubbing and clicking in my knee when I walk. What is wrong with my knee? Should I still be playing basketball or will it make it worse?

there are so many possible problems so I would just recommend seeing a doctor or physiotherapist.

If you continue to exercise ie.basketball before giving your knee time to recover then yes it could worsen the pain. See a sprots physiotherapist to get a proffesional rehab opinion.
