The Sexyback star was clad in casual T-short and jeans as he strutted his stuff on the court, showing off his toned stomach as he leaned to get his shot in the hoop.

Timberlake has been spotted shooting the movie in several New York locations alongside co-star Mila Kunis.

However, their plan ends up not exactly working out when feelings change and the relationship gets complicated.

The film also stars Woody Harrelson and Emma Stone.

Meanwhile, Timberlake has been linked to Simon Cowell's vacant judge's spot on American Idol.

He and Elton John are both on producer Simon Fuller's wish list for the job, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Nigel Lythgoe, who currently judges talent show So You think You Can Dance, in the U.S, is also said to be in line for the job, along with singers Chris Isaak and Harry Connick Jr.

At the end of last season, Cowell left Idol in order to launch The U.S. version of The X Factor.
