Had Patella Tendon Surgery, Having Lot Of Knee Popping And Cracking. What Could Be Happening?

Hello, about a 18 months ago I had patella tendon surgery. I snapped my tendon in half playing basketball. I had it surgically repaired. It healed well and i resumed basketball. Around May of this year my knee started feeling weird. Now there is a lot of popping and cracking. Sounds like grinding as well. After I play basketball it swells and stiffens. Now when i run it feels like the bone maybe touching the other bone. Im not sure on that. But im not explosive as i was a few months ago. I started strength training weeks ago. Its helping a little. I guess when i move in a lateral position to cut ,my knee feels like its going to give. Any suggestions. Thanks
