Washington DC [US], March 18: American actor and comedian Tracy Morgan was escorted out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair on Monday night after he reportedly vomited while attending a New York Knicks game. The incident occurred during the third quarter of the game between the Knicks and the Miami Heat, prompting a brief pause in the game as staff cleaned the floor.
Videos circulating online show Morgan holding a towel to his nose, possibly attempting to stop a nosebleed. Following the incident, a representative for Madison Square Garden shared a statement to People, saying, “We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside.”
Morgan, a lifelong Knicks fan, has had a history of health issues. He suffers from diabetes and underwent a kidney transplant in 2010. In 2014, he survived a severe car accident in which a Walmart truck collided with his limo, leaving him in a coma for two weeks and requiring months of recovery. Tragically, the crash claimed the life of his collaborator and mentor James McNair, while others were injured. On the 10th anniversary of the accident, Morgan expressed his feelings of love and forgiveness to those involved, telling People, “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. And to the driver that night and his family, me and my comrades forgive you.”
