Tracy Morgan Wheeled Out of Knicks Game After Falling Ill Courtside

Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan, a devoted New York Knicks fan, had an unsettling moment during Monday night’s game at Madison Square Garden when he fell ill courtside. The 56-year-old had to be wheeled out in a wheelchair after vomiting and reportedly suffering a nosebleed while seated in his usual prime spot.

Fans in attendance captured the incident on social media, with one photo showing Morgan visibly unwell during the Knicks’ face-off against the Miami Heat. A man sitting next to him, wearing a black t-shirt and a blue Knicks hat, appeared concerned as the situation unfolded.

Videos surfaced showing Madison Square Garden staff assisting Morgan, who struggled to stand and required help to get into the wheelchair. He was also seen bleeding from his nose, adding to the alarming scene. The game was briefly paused as staff cleaned up and ensured Morgan received medical attention off the court.

One spectator shared on X (formerly Twitter), "Tracy Morgan getting wheeled out from courtside at MSG… bleeding from nose… could barely stand up… hope he’s ok." The video accompanying the post showed a visibly distressed Morgan being escorted out.

Morgan, a Bronx native and longtime Knicks superfan, is a familiar face courtside, often seated near the MSG Network broadcasters. On Monday, those spots were occupied by Kenny Albert and Walter Clyde Frazier. Following the incident, an MSG spokesperson expressed their well wishes, saying, "We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside."

The comedian, beloved for his roles on "Saturday Night Live" and NBC’s "30 Rock", has had his share of health challenges over the years. These include diabetes and alcohol issues, which led to a kidney transplant in 2010. While it’s unclear if these past health problems contributed to Monday’s episode, the scene was undoubtedly worrisome for fans and onlookers alike.

Despite the shocking moment, Morgan’s enduring support for the Knicks remains unquestioned. Here’s hoping he makes a full recovery and returns to cheer on his beloved team soon.
