Basketball and early rheumatoid arthritis in knees?I have been diagnosed with early rheumatoid arthritis in my knees. Should I completely quit playing basketball?

this is something you have to discuss with your doc.

I wouldn't say you need to completely quite playing the game, but I agree, I would talk with your doctor. They may be able to prescribe something, whether it be medication, or suggest other support and preventive exercising to help ease with the pain.

If you can stop the progression of the damage to your knees, you should be able to keep playing. My wife was diagnosed with RA and we learned a lot from customer who had RA since he was 12. Tried all of the traditional treatments with little results. Hands became deformed and getting up stairs was nearly impossible. My wife couldn't open a bottle of water.
He got on the internet and started researching alternatives to his traditional treatments. He found that food sensitivities, NOT food allergies, were the main cause. My wife tried this approach, along with steroids and methotrexate and is doing very well. Her rheumatologist says she is his star patient, but will not admit it's the diet, even though he suggested a book showing the results of eliminating foods that cause pain. The book by Barbara Allan, "Conquering Arthritis: What Doctors Don't Tell You Because They Don't Know" was an immense help. She found the foods she loved the most were not good for her, but everyone is different. She has to lay off tomatoes and any thing with corn, which is in so many things.
