Knee-Friendly Exercises

Here's the problem:

I'm a basketball player. I practice on the court twice a week and play matches on a Sunday as well as my gym workout's 2-3 times a week. I suffer from patellar tendonitis (Jumper's knee) - a direct result of the sport I play, the knee in question being the one i take off from.

As far as my lower body workout's are concerned, I'm looking to tone more than build muscle. I have pretty big legs as it is. What I'm looking for are exercises that'll help in the toning and fat loss process, without putting too much pressure on my knee. I can't do sqauts at all anymore (the pain is more severe when going down than when coming back up).

Any advice or comment will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
