I don't see it, but maybe you can. Here is the entire CBA:

There are references to "non-football related injuries" concerning compensation (page 128) and injury grievances (page 193), but I did not see the word basketball specifically mentioned at all. There is the ability of the club to place a player who has a non-football related injury on a non-football injury list, and then the player is not paid, although the years on the contract continue to accrue. So in that case basketball isn't prohibited, but a player can lose salary from an injury gotten while playing basketball (non-football related). I think that's where the Ravens are choosing (wisely) not to go.

Maybe it's in another section but I doubt it. I only skimmed it, however.
