Tracy Morgan’s night out at Madison Square Garden Monday did not end well for the longtime actor and comedian.
Morgan, 56, is a diehard New York Knicks fan, often sitting courtside to watch his favorite team play. During the third quarter of tonight’s game between the Knicks and Miami Heat, Morgan accidentally caused a delay in the action when he became ill and vomited on the court in front of him.
At one point on the broadcast, ESPN play-by-play man Ryan Ruocco could be heard explaining to fans that the game was being held up after a fan in the front row got sick. The cameras never showed the scene, and Ruocco and partner Doris Burke did not provide further information on the spectator.
However, other people in attendance made note of Morgan being the one who threw up, with one fan even capturing a gnarly photo of the act.
Someone else took a video from the crowd of Morgan being wheelchaired away as he wiped his face with a towel.

Prayers to Tracy 🙏

We’ll see if there’s any further info on Morgan out before the end of the night.
Hopefully, he was just feeling a little under the weather or ate/drank something that didn’t agree with him. It would be awful if this was the sign of something more serious, as Morgan has dealt with a myriad of health issues over the years.
Best known for his work on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, Morgan is a two-time Emmy nominee and comedic legend.
He also takes his Knicks fanhood seriously.
Morgan’s favorite team got off to a slow start tonight, falling behind by as many as 13 in the first half before trimming the deficit to two at halftime.
New York would eventually take control with a dominant 41-15 third quarter and now lead by more than 20 midway through the fourth quarter on ESPN.
Mikal Bridges (25 points) has led four Knicks starters in double-digits so far.
