Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan has broken his silence after he was rushed out of a Knicks game on St Patricks Day.
The 56-year-old is a dedicated New York Knicks fan, but on Monday night, he had to be taken out of the game at Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair after experiencing nausea and a nosebleed while sitting courtside.
A social media post from a bystander captured the moment, showing the 56-year-old visibly unwell during the Knicks' matchup against the Miami Heat. In the image, a man in a black t-shirt and blue Knicks cap can be seen next to Morgan, showing concern.
A video of the incident later surfaced, revealing multiple MSG staff members assisting Morgan, who appeared to be struggling to get into a wheelchair while dealing with a nosebleed. "Tracy Morgan getting wheeled out from courtside at MSG…bleeding from nose...could barely stand up…hope he’s ok," one X user shared, alongside video footage of the scene.

Following the incident, Tracy has now broken his silence. Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the comedian shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed with several wires and tubes surrounding his body.
Despite his health woes, the comedian appeared in high spirits as he flashed a smile at the camera and gave a thumbs up. Sharing the health update with his concerned fans, he wrote: "Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning.
"Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out the crew that had to clean that up. Appreciate you. More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court so maybe I’ll have to break it out again in the playoffs."
The game was briefly halted as staff cleaned up and attended to Morgan’s medical needs off the court. Morgan is a frequent presence at Knicks games, with his usual courtside seat positioned next to MSG Network broadcasters Kenny Albert and Walter Clyde Frazier, who were calling the game that night.
An MSG spokesperson expressed well-wishes, saying, "We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside." Morgan, known for his roles on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, has been a loyal Knicks supporter since childhood, growing up in The Bronx. Throughout his life, he has faced various health challenges, including diabetes, alcohol issues, and a kidney transplant in 2010.
