NO it is too soon. Absolutely NO exercise.

You are doing the right thing, back brace and exercise. Now you will have to wait for the Cat Scan, but if the inflammation has subsided, congratulations and I expect they just might let you start back at basketball. However WAIT for the Cat Scan, do not do anything silly, stupid, just wait because it might be worth it in the end.
