Tracy Morgan may have scared some Knicks fans, but he shows again that nothing can hold him down for long. The comedy legend suffered a medical emergency at Madison Square Garden during Monday night's (March 17) Knicks vs. Heat game, leading to a quick exit in a wheelchair. "Morgan bounced back," and later revealed that the cause of the hell was food poisoning.
The incident occurred when Morgan, a very passionate Knicks fan, sat courtside enjoying the game. He's been seen on-screen falling ill suddenly and vomiting, bleeding from the nose, and having medical personnel escort him out of the arena. Naturally, fans and fellow celebrities were worried, but Morgan quickly said he was recovering.
The next day, the 30 Rock star took to Instagram to share a tongue-in-cheek message to assure his followers he was doing fine. "Thank you for all of your concern," he said. "I'm ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning. Shout out to my MSG fame for getting me all locked in, and I have to shout out the crew that had to clean that up,' Tatum said. Appreciate you!"
Morgan managed to maintain his signature humor despite an unexpected health scare. In addition to his thanks, he couldn't resist a quip about his inauspicious departure.
"More importantly, Knicks are now 1-0 when I puke on the floor so I might have to bring it back for the playoffs #goknicks," he joked.
Some, such as 50 Cent, took the opportunity to make fun of Morgan's situation, while others were ready to show love and support. Hip-hop heavyweights Fat Joe and Papoose were among the first commenters wishing them well.
"I love you brother, prayed all night for you!" Fat Joe wrote, reassuring Morgan that he had support.
Papoose echoed that sentiment, posting a heartfelt "Love you my brother… get well soon!" DJ Premier, meanwhile, also responded, writing, "Glad ur good bro!"
Even actress Taraji P. Henson jumped in with a funny but worried message for her former What Men Want co-star. "Alright now TRACY!!!!!!! Take care of yourself. Remember that talk we had. I love you," she wrote, suggesting a previous talk about health.
The health scare has been a dampener for Morgan, who still appears in good spirits, and nothing, not even food poisoning, will come between him and the Knicks. Considering the team's 116-95 victory over the Heat that night, he may see his sudden departure as a good luck omen.
If he isn't serving you, laughs, Tracy Morgan will deliver you to the medical service courtside, and he won't stop. The Knicks' biggest fan isn't going anywhere soon!
