Comedian Tracy Morgan assured fans Tuesday that he’s “doing OK” after experiencing a medical scare at the New York Knicks game that caused a delay in the third quarter. In an Instagram post, the former Saturday Night Live star revealed that food poisoning was to blame for him suddenly throwing up on the court Monday night at Madison Square Garden. “Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now,” Morgan said alongside a photo of himself in a hospital bed. The actor had been sitting court-side to watch the team take on the Miami Heat when fans said he began vomiting and experiencing a bloody nose. One video posted to X showed him with a towel covering his face and being escorted out in a wheelchair. In his post on Tuesday, Morgan thanked his “MSG family” for taking care of him. He also added: “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.” This is one of several medical issues Morgan has faced over the years, the most notable one being his car accident back in 2014 that left him in a coma for two weeks.
