i think i have the same thing as you...
i went to pt for a while and the people there told me that I had bursitis or tendonitis, but my friend had the same problem and hers was something else. my advice would be to ice it after practice and maybe wear a brace, and if you have the same thing as me, mine went away after a few years. i don't know if this is helpful at all, but i hope it is!!!

A tight IT band can inhibit knee flexion. Massage it out if necessary.

Where exactly in your knee?
