Comedian and actor Tracy Morgan experienced a medical emergency courtside during the New York Knicks’ game against the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden on Monday night. The incident, which occurred in the third quarter, briefly halted the game as Morgan was attended to by medical personnel and later escorted out of the arena in a wheelchair.
Witnesses reported that Morgan, a lifelong Knicks fan and regular courtside presence, appeared visibly unwell before the incident. Social media footage captured the 56-year-old comedian vomiting and showing signs of distress, including what some described as nosebleeding. Concerned paramedics and security staff quickly responded, assisting Morgan as he covered his face with a towel while being wheeled out of the arena.

The game resumed after a 10-minute delay, with the Knicks ultimately securing a dominant 116-95 victory over the Heat.
Madison Square Garden released a statement expressing their support for Morgan, saying,
“We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside.”
The nature of Morgan’s condition remains unclear, and his representatives have not yet provided an update.
Morgan, best known for his roles on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, has faced significant health challenges in the past. He underwent a kidney transplant in 2010 due to complications from diabetes and survived a near-fatal car accident in 2014, which left him with severe injuries and required a lengthy recovery.
