The renowned comedian and actor Tracy Morgan caused concern for everyone after being spotted enjoying the New York Knicks and Miami Heat game at Madison Square Garden this past Monday. The famous actor, known for his roles in “30 Rock” and “Saturday Night Live,” apparently felt unwell while sitting courtside during the game and had to be wheeled out in a wheelchair after vomiting on the court.
The incident experienced by Morgan even briefly interrupted the game during the third quarter. During the game broadcast, the announcer said that the delay was due to a fan having “lost the contents of his stomach on the field” after falling asleep.
What did Tracy Morgan say about the incident that happened to him at the NBA game?
On his Instagram account, Morgan joked about what happened and expressed his gratitude to those who were concerned about the images. “Thank you for all your concern! I’m fine now and the doctors say it was food poisoning. I appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to give a bigger thank you to the team that had to clean that up. I appreciate you! More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I vomit on the court, so maybe I’ll have to do it again in the playoffs," he wrote.
A spokesperson for Madison Square Garden told CNN: “We hope Tracy gets better soon and we are looking forward to seeing him back on the court.” It is important to remember that the 56-year-old comedian is a devoted Knicks fan and a familiar presence at MSG.
In the past, the actor has faced significant health problems, notably a nearly fatal car accident in 2014 that left him in a coma for two weeks. He has also struggled with diabetes and underwent a kidney transplant in 2010.
