Go play: Play and have fun. Your vision may be slightly blurry, but not enough to be dangerous or ruin your fun. In a few more hours, they will be back to normal.

Play - OK: Dilation of the pupils commonly causes blurring of vision. As long as you can see well enough to play basketball following with dilation of your pupils, go ahead.
