Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan had an unexpected and concerning moment at Madison Square Garden on Monday night when he suddenly vomited courtside during the New York Knicks game against the Miami Heat. The 56-year-old star, known for his roles on “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock”, had to be escorted out in a wheelchair after falling ill, momentarily halting the game.
The incident occurred in the third quarter, causing an estimated 10-minute delay while arena staff rushed to assist Morgan and clean up the area. A viral photo circulating on social media shows Morgan hunched over in his courtside seat, positioned right next to MSG Networks broadcasters Kenny Albert and Walter Clyde Frazier. Fans in the arena and those watching from home were left shocked by the scene.
