The New York Knicks recorded a 116-95 win over the Miami Heat on Monday, March 17. The game saw Comedian Tracy Morgan marking his presence at the Madison Square Garden. However, the 30 Rock star was escorted out of the arena on a wheelchair after he suffered a medical emergency.

As per the videos and photos doing rounds on the internet, Morgan was seen throwing up at his courtside seat. The incident took place during the third quarter. His condition caused a 10-minute delay while the medical personnel attended him. He was later wheeled out while holding a white towel up to his face, as the workers cleaned up the area. Several reports suggested that Morgan also had his nose bleeding.

Following the game, a Madison Square Garden representative addressed the situation. He told People Magazine, “We hope the 30 Rock star feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside.” Not only this, but Knicks forward Josh Hart, who recorded his eighth triple-double with 12 points, 13 rebounds and eleven assists, also talked about the situation.

He said, “We hope everything is good with Tracy Morgan, avid lifetime Knicks fan, so prayers go out to him and his health and safety.”

While the reason behind Morgan’s sudden health scare is still unknown, his past medical struggles haven’t been hidden. The comedian and actor has had his battle with diabetes, and also had a kidney transplant. Not only this, but he was also involved in a fatal car accident in 2014, where he sustained multiple brain injuries, fractures and even memory loss.
