Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan was removed from a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden after reportedly vomiting and suffering a nosebleed at his courtside seat.

Video footage showed MSG staff members helping Morgan into a wheelchair.

Fox News reports:

The game was stopped for several minutes so staff members could clean up and get him medical attention off the court.

Morgan is regularly seen during Knicks games, as his courtside seat is positioned next to MSG Network broadcasters, which were Kenny Albert and Walter Clyde Frazier on Monday night.

“We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside,” an MSG spokesperson told The New York Post.

Morgan, known for his time on “Saturday Night Live” and starring in NBC’s “30 Rock,” has been supporting the Knicks since he was a kid living in The Bronx.

He has dealt with various health issues over the years, including diabetes and alcohol problems, which led to a kidney transplant in 2010.

“Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning. 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. Appreciate you!” Morgan said on Instagram.

“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,” he added.

From the New York Post:

Tracy Morgan revealed he was hospitalized for food poisoning after he threw up on the floor while sitting courtside at MSG for the Knicks-Heat game on Monday.

The comedian, 56, who was escorted off of the court in a wheelchair, posted a photo of himself Tuesday morning smiling in a hospital bed while holding a thumbs up gesture.
