The comedian was removed from his courtside seat during the Monday, March 17 game at Madison Square Garden
Tracy Morgan appeared to have a medical incident during the New York Knicks’ game against the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden on Monday, March 17.
Morgan, 56, appeared to become ill during the game, as noted on X Morgan vomited, while others wrote he had a bloody nose. One image appears to show him vomiting onto the floor. Another social media video shows the 30 Rock star being taken away in a wheelchair as he held a towel over his face.
The Knicks-Heat game, which ended with a 116-95 Knicks victory, was delayed in the third quarter for roughly 10 minutes due to Morgan’s medical incident.
“We hope Tracy feels better soon an
d look forward to seeing him back courtside,” a Madison Square Garden representative told PEOPLE.
Morgan has diabetes and underwent a kidney transplant in 2010. Four years later, he survived a deadly auto accident. In June 2014, a Walmart truck hit Morgan’s limo from behind while speeding on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Morgan broke his leg and was in a coma for two weeks after the accident, which killed his collaborator and mentor James McNair and left others injured. The comedian was in a wheelchair for five months and later, had to relearn how to speak and walk.
“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 told PEOPLE on the 10th anniversary of his accident. “And to the driver that night and his family, me and my comrades forgive you.”
“When anything ever bad happened to me I made it funny and I turned it good,” he said at the time, promoting the Netflix special Staying Alive.
Last month, Morgan participated in SNL50, a celebration of Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary, even appearing in sketches during the show.
“This is incredible,” Morgan, 56, told actor and comedian Matt Rogers during the SNL50: The Red Carpet special on Sunday, Feb. 16. “Just thank the Lord that I’m a part of this, that I survived the accident and I’m alive to be here for this.”
