Comedian Tracy Morgan was wheelchaired out of Madison Square Garden last night in the middle of a New York Knicks basketball game after he appeared to vomit on the floor and struggle to stand.
Morgan is one of the team’s most famous and committed fans and was sitting courtside at the time of the incident. There was a ten-minute pause in the game during the third quarter for facilities officials to clean the floor and Morgan to receive medical attention. In a video captured by one of the game’s attendees, the 30 Rock star was seen being shepherded out of the arena in a wheelchair and appeared to be trying to stop a nosebleed with a towel.
In a statement to People, a spokesperson for Madison Square Gardens did not elaborate on the comedian’s condition but said, “We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside.”
Morgan, a standup comic and actor best known for being a cast member of Saturday Night Live from the late 1990s to the early 2000s and the NBC sitcom 30 Rock, has faced a series of health scares over the years. In 2010, he underwent a kidney transplant.
Four years later, his car was hit by a speeding Walmart truck on the highway. Morgan’s leg was broken, and he was in a coma for two weeks.
His mentor, James McNair, was killed in the accident, while other passengers were severely injured. Morgan later released a standup special titled Staying Alive. Last month, he was one of the many celebrity attendees at SNL50, the 50th anniversary celebration of Saturday Night Live.
No update has been provided on Morgan’s condition.
