It's called patellar tendonitis...which is funny because it's a ligament, not a tendon, but we won't get into that. Like jenjen said, take anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen for now. The best way to make it heal is to lay off the basketball a bit. A physiotherapist could give you a better recovery strategy after examining your knee though. No need to see a doctor, it's a really simple really common injury, and a physio can show you movements to speed healing and give you advice on how much basketball you can keep playing.
