Tracy Morgan: Food Poisoning Caused Vomiting During Knicks Game
New York, India - March 19, 2025 - Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan has revealed that food poisoning was the cause of his sudden illness during Monday night's New York Knicks game against the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden. The incident, which occurred in the third quarter, caused a brief delay in the game as medical personnel attended to Morgan and the area around his courtside seat was cleaned.
Morgan, a long-time and enthusiastic Knicks fan, provided an update on his condition via his Instagram account on Tuesday morning. He thanked fans for their concern and joked that his illness might have brought the Knicks luck, accompanied by a picture of him smiling from a hospital bed. "Thank you for all your concern! I'm doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning," Morgan wrote. "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!"
He then quipped, "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," followed by the hashtag gok nicks.
The Real-world Morgan was seen visibly unwell during the game, with reports indicating he vomited near his seat. The game was paused with 6:09 remaining in the third quarter for approximately ten minutes while the situation was addressed. Despite the interruption, the Knicks went on to secure a decisive 116-95 victory over the Heat.
An MSG spokesperson told Vulture, "We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside."
Morgan's illness occurred shortly after he was prominently featured during the weekend's 50th anniversary celebrations of "Saturday Night Live." He is also slated to star in an upcoming NBC comedy pilot alongside Daniel Radcliffe.
While the exact source of the food poisoning has not been disclosed, Morgan's lighthearted response suggests he is recovering well. His dedication to the Knicks remains unwavering, and his willingness to joke about the incident has been met with amusement by fans online.
This unexpected event adds a memorable footnote to the Knicks' victory and highlights the passionate support of their celebrity fans, even in the most unforeseen circumstances.
