The NYPD says five men were shot during a basketball tournament in a popular playground Harlem.

It happened shortly before 11 p.m. Wednesday at Rucker Park at 155th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard.

Ex-Knicks guard Nate Robinson was reportedly in attendance for the Entertainers Basketball Classic. He was not injured.

Police say the victims were removed to area hospitals. None of the injuries were life-threatening.

There have been no arrests. Streets surrounding the park remained closed Thursday as police conducted an investigation.

The incident comes days after another shooting at a basketball game in the Bronx in which a 4-year-old boy was fatally shot.

Two people were charged in the deadly shooting.
