Should i play basketball with a back injury?

Ok i have a basketball tournamount tomorrow and im trying to decide if i should play or not. I recently went to the hospital 2 days cause my spine and lower back was hurting way bad. But the doctor gave me some painkillers 550 mg so the pain has gone down a little bit now and the side effects do make me a little bit dizzy. The doctor strongly advised me from not lifting anything heavy but he didn't say anything about sports. So would i be stupid to play?
Answer:
No, the back injury may get worst and may stop your basketball activity for a long time.The painkiller will not resolve the problem, the injury is still there, only the pain sensation has been numbed by the painkiller. Remember, painkillers are only to relieve your sensation of pain, but the injury is as it is. any muscular activity will further damage the tissues which you will not feel due to the effect of the painkiller you have taken. But you'll surely feel more pain after the effect of the tablet has subsided. Subsequently, you will require stronger pain killer to relieve you of the pain.Painkillers are bad for stomach and have other side effects. So, why spoil your health, just skip over these basketball matches and wait till your Doctor gives go ahead.
no u w'd aggravate ur back injury.u need rest 4 2 weeks at least.
