Rihanna bared her legs in tiny denim cutoffs paired with a Run DMC tracksuit top and nude heels.

She wore her long dark hair loose and wavy and added colour with crimsons lips.

The Barbadian beauty was seen watching the game with a blank expression on her face, before digging into a greasy snack from the concession stand.

The charity hoops game was hosted by New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia, 34, and former New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, 31, who now plays for the Seattle Mariners.

Chris wore an all-red ensemble as he played on Sabathia's team for the charity game.

He seemed in good spirits, laughing as he ran up and down the court.

Meanwhile, Rihanna and her ex Drake have sparked speculation that romance could well be on the cards as they were spotted at the same nightclub on Monday night.

The pair enjoyed a night out at the popular Griffin nightclub in New York where they also spent time with the likes of rapper Fat Joe and basketball star Tim Hardaway Jr.

The Hold On hitmaker and Rihanna first dated in 2010 before rekindling their love between February and March this year.

The pair’s night out comes after Chris put rumours of his split from on-off girlfriend Karrueche Tran to rest when they were seen getting affectionate with one another on Saturday.

He then announced this week that he was ready to have a baby with the model.

The Turn Up The Music singer posted to Instagram on Wednesday: 'Damn near 5 years and this woman still putting up with my sh**. Need to have this baby and stop playing! My WCW.'

Since the beginning of their relationship, Chris and Karrueche have been plagued by rumors of being in a love triangle with his ex Rihanna.

As recently as this spring it was believed jail bird Chris - who served time after being kicked out of rehab - was romancing the Umbrella singer.

That led to a split between the model and the musician in March. They got back together, and she even threw him a just-got-out-of-jail party. But in early August they took another break.

Chris and RIhanna first called it quits in 2009 after shocking images emerged of the injuries Chris had inflicted upon Rihanna.

In June 2012, Chris got into a violent altercation at a New York City nightclub with Drake, which resulted in both parties being injured when bottles were thrown.

The couple have got back together several times over the last few years, but cooled things off for good in 2013.

Chris was seen earlier in the day smoking a cigarette as he arrived at the Barclays Center.

The Turn Up The Music singer wore a funky and very bizarre outfit as he stood outside the arena for the charity match.

Chris wore a grey hoodie with Billionaire Boys Club in green neon print, a dark blue cap and knee-length lime green shorts with images of cars that looked like pajamas.

He also had on tall white Nike socks with Nike sandals and carried a green camouflage backpack with red eyes and monster teeth.

Chris met up before the match with the charity game's master of ceremonies and ESPN analyst Jay Williams.
