Depends on how severe your symptoms are at this point. If you dont have significant pain, you can go ahead. Physical exercise improves the muscle strength and helps your neck and back

Hi I would rather first examine you first and then decide how to go about this question. If clinically you are not too bad then my treatment advice would be in 3 steps
Step1 Reduce pain and make it go with medication, physio, rest and cool packs
Step2 once pain goes then toning muscles
Step3 Strengthen the weak muscles
Then you can do any sports of your choice
Hope it helps

If there is still pain avoid playing now. Get relieved of the pain, do muscle strengthening exercises daily and start your sport activities gradually. You will need some lifestyle modification to prevent recurrence.
