Tracy Morgan Throws Up At Knicks Game And Is Escorted From Madison Square Garden By Wheelchair
Actor Tracy Morgan was wheeled out of Madison Square Garden during the New York Knicks game Monday (March 18) evening after vomiting at his court side seat.
Though the details surrounding Morgan’s condition are limited, a photo was shared on social media of the actor throwing up in his court side seat, beside MSG Network broadcasters Kenny Albert and Walter Clyde Frazier. The photo showed Morgan being tended to by someone who appeared concerned.
The incident caused a delay in the third quarter as Morgan received medical attention by arena staff and the area was cleaned up.
A video later shared on social media also showed Morgan being escorted away from the court in a wheelchair and holding a towel to his face as he reportedly began suffering a nose bleed. According to the user, Morgan “could barely stand up.” Sopranos star Steve Schirripa can also be seen standing nearby as MSG staff tended to Morgan.
Morgan, who recently appeared on John Mulaney‘s live Netflix talk show Everybody’s in L.A., is a diehard fan of the New York City Knicks and can be regularly seen sitting court side at their Madison Square Garden games.
“We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside,” an MSG spokesperson told The New York Post.
Knicks player Josh Hart also said, “We hope everything is good with Tracy Morgan, avid lifetime Knicks fan, so prayers go out to him and his health and safety.”
Ben Stiller, who is also an avid Knicks fan and has been photographed court side with Morgan, also wished the comedian well. “Sending good thoughts to Tracy Morgan,” he wrote on X.
In 2014, Morgan was the victim of a near-fatal car accident that left him in a coma with a broken leg and claimed the life of his collaborator and friend, Jimmy Mack. The comedian later said in his 2017 Netflix special Staying Alive that he suffered a “traumatic brain injury” and several injuries.
“I broke every bone in my face, my ribs. I pulverized my femur. I’m from the ghetto, and after I came out the coma I was blind for a week, and where I come from you don’t want to be blind for a second. All kinds of s— started coming up missing in my hospital room,” he said, per Entertainment Weekly.
It was recently announced that Morgan would be reuniting with his 30 Rock co-star Tina Fey for a new NBC series following a disgraced former football player on a mission to rehabilitate his image.
Daniel Radcliffe, Bobby Moynihan, and Erika Alexander will also star.
