While details are limited on what happened, Morgan became ill while the game was going on and forced a brief delay — while Morgan was taken off in a wheelchair and the arena staff cleaned up the area during the third quarter.
A photo posted on social media showed Morgan hunched over vomiting in his courtside seat, which was positioned next to MSG Networks broadcasters Kenny Albert and Walter Clyde Frazier.
The photo, which was shared by a fan, also showed a man in a black T-shirt and black and blue Knicks hat looking concerned for Morgan.A separate video that circulated on social media, showed Morgan being taken away in a wheelchair while holding a towel over his face as paramedics and arena staff attended to him.
The post on X claimed Morgan had been bleeding from his nose and that the comedian “could barely stand up.”

“We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside,” an MSG spokesperson told The Post in a statement.
Knicks star Josh Hart also wished Morgan well after the Knicks secured a 116-95 win over Miami.
“We hope everything is good with Tracy Morgan, avid lifetime Knicks fan, so prayers go out to him and his health and safety,” Hart said.
A request for comment by Page Six to Morgan’s publicist was not immediately answered.
Morgan has been a regular at the Garden for years and is viewed as one of the Knicks’ diehard celeb fans after attending his first game in 1981.
The SNL alum and “30 Rock” star boasted to The Post about his Knicks fandom during an interview in 2023.

“I’m not a fair-weather fan. I’m with the good, bad and ugly,” he said. “I’m always going to be a fan. I’m a New Yorker. I’m a New York fan.”
While it’s unclear what caused the medical situation on Monday night, Morgan has dealt with his share of health problems over the years, which had included diabetes and struggles with alcohol that led to him having a kidney transplant in 2010.
Morgan was in a near-fatal accident in 2014, when the luxury minibus that he was traveling in on the New Jersey Turnpike was struck by a tractor-trailer.
The accident took the life of his longtime collaborator, Jimmy Mack, and Morgan suffered multiple broken bones and head injuries that left him with some memory loss and headaches.
