Is It Ok to Play in a Basketball Tournament a Month After Having Surgery Fixing my Deviated Septum?

johnj1023
Hi, my name is Josh and I had a procedure to have my deviated septum fixed on July 17th. I am 17 and was wondering whether it was safe to play in a basketball tournament on the 17th of August. Granted that I wear a protective face mask, would it be ok to participate in an all day basketball tournament where I would be playing a lot.
