Yes: Unless your scoliosis is due to a neurologic cause, it should not deter you from playing basketball. At your age, you really should not have any progression of your curvature if it is from idiopathic cause. If you have a spine doc who you have been working with, you may want to ask them specifically but you should absolutely be able to play.

Yes: People with scoliosis have more back pain than people without, but it is independent of treatment. Have at it!
