There are no tendons in the knee, it's a joint. All you have are ligaments and cartilage.

Ligaments attach bones together in joints.

Tendons attach muscles to bone (around and outside joints).

Thanks Kray.

lol, you can't have knee tendonitis without tendons in and around the knee.

There are tendons in and around the knee area:

Quote:
patellar tendon attaches the patella to the tibia

Quote:
The quadriceps tendon attaches the four quadriceps muscles to the patella just above the knee.

Quote:
The illiotibial band is a very long tendon, attaching the tensor faciia latte muscle to the knee. The TFL is a hip abductior, and helps to provide some medial rotation of the tibia. The IT band attaches on both the fibula and the tibia on the lateral side of the knee. As the knee flexes and extends, the illiotibial band moves over the head of the fibula. If this knee tendon is tight, it can cause irritation and inflammation at its insertion. This knee injury is known as IT band friction syndrome.

The points of attachment are outside the knee joint itself.

There are no tendons inside the joint itself.

Does anybody remember at what point in the game he was injured?

The second horrible pass Alex threw him. This one three feet over his head with a safety closing in behind him.
