The front, top, sides, and bottom of the backboard are all in play. The ball cannot legally pass over a rectangular backboard from either direction. The back of a backboard is out of bounds as well as the supporting structures.

Well, it can do so physically but it would also be a violation. (Where "from" is intended to be form the back or from the front and not from the left/right).
