Steven Spielberg’s daughter Destry got a front-row view of Tracy Morgan’s medical incident Monday night during a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. She was sitting courtside next to the comedian when he suddenly vomited on the floor, stopping the game for a few minutes while medical personnel tended to him. Shortly after, he was escorted out of the stadium in a wheelchair—telling fans that he suffered from a bout of food poisoning. “I had a great time,” Destry wrote on her Instagram Stories alongside a zoomed in photo of herself looking seemingly disgusted. “Genuinely so glad he’s okay,” she quickly added in another post. “Honestly thank you for making my first courtside game one to remember. I will never forget this one.” Morgan was escorted out of Madison Square Garden on a wheelchair following the incident Monday and was taken to a hospital. On Tuesday, the 30 Rock star reassured fans on Instagram that he was “doing ok now” and that doctors clarified it was food poisoning. “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,” he joked.
