Do the cat/cow stretch. Get on all fours, with your arms straight and your hands directly under your shoulders; your knees hip-width apart.

That depends on severity of your disc prolapse. It should be okay if you do moderate activity. However, there is no way it can be made out that how much you can play.
Next Steps
A good approach shall be to strenthen your back muscles with exercises and then gradually increase your playing time over a period of two to three months.
Health Tips
If it pains while playing, avoid the activity.

If you are asymptomatic - then do back muscle strengthening exercises. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration because dehydrated disc is more prone to injury. Start walking , jogging, jumping. Running and then sports gradually
