If possible dig it up carefully you should be ok. In Two days there isn't going to be tons of growth. If you don't want to dig it up you can bend it slowly around over time during hot weather.

You can do either, bending back isn't as hard as it sounds in hot weather over a couple days. I personally don't like the idea of damaging roots at this late in the game especially on a neighbor plant. If it was April or early May, I would say go for it.
