HEALTHHospitalized Tracy Morgan Reveals What Caused Scary Vomiting Incident at Knicks Game
Tracy Morgan shared a photo from his hospital bed after he started vomiting at the New York Knicks game on Monday, March 17.
Tracy Morgan is assuring fans he's in good shape after a vomiting episode at Madison Square Garden led to him being wheeled out of the arena on the night of Monday, March 17.
"Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning," the actor revealed the following day in an Instagram caption alongside a smiling photo of himself in a hospital bed and hooked up with several wires.
Tracy Morgan revealed food poisoning was to blame for his vomiting incident at the March 17 New York Knicks game.
"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," the comedian, 56, continued. "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 😅 #goknicks."
As OK! reported, the 30 Rock alum started suddenly throwing up while sitting front row at the NBA game, with staff quickly coming to his aid and pushing him out of the area in a wheelchair while he held a towel in front of his face.
At the time, a user on X claimed the 56-year-old star also had a nosebleed and "could barely stand up."
Morgan said he's 'doing ok' and shared a smiling photo from the hospital bed.
The ordeal caused the game to be delayed due to the cleanup, but as Morgan mentioned, the Knicks ended up coming out victorious over the Miami Heat.
Despite the situation causing alarm, this isn't the scariest health woe the actor has endured, as in 2014, he was involved in a multi-vehicle crash when the car he was in was hit by a Walmart tractor-trailer.

The comedian's mishap caused the basketball game to be slightly delayed due to the cleanup.
Morgan's mentor James McNair was killed while the TV star was airlifted to a hospital and suffered from a broken femur, broken nose, broken ribs and a brain injury. After undergoing surgery, he attended a rehabilitation program for several months and had to use a wheelchair while relearning how to talk and walk.
After it was revealed that the Walmart driver hadn't slept for 24 hours, Morgan sued them for negligence, with the company settling for a rumored $90 million.
In 2014, Morgan had to relearn to walk and talk after the car he was in was hit by a Walmart tractor-trailer.
On the 10th anniversary of the crash, the comic revealed he had come to terms with the tragedy and was no longer angry.
"I want to say to everyone who was in the van with me that night I love you, and we miss you, Uncle Jimmy Mac and God bless your family," Morgan expressed in a 2024 interview. "And to the driver that night and his family, me and my comrades forgive you."
