Comedian Tracy Morgan has reassured fans that he is doing "ok" following a frightening incident during a New York Knicks game on Monday night. Morgan, 56, experienced a bout of food poisoning while seated courtside at Madison Square Garden during the third quarter of the Knicks vs. Miami Heat game. Eyewitnesses reported delays as medical staff assisted him before he was wheeled out in a wheelchair.

In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Morgan shared a photo of himself from a hospital bed, giving a thumbs-up to express his gratitude. "Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning,” he wrote, acknowledging the Madison Square Garden staff for their care and humorously noting, “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," as reported by HuffPost.

Morgan’s sudden illness shocked fans and players alike, with Knicks player Josh Hart expressing well wishes for the beloved comedian, who has a long history as a passionate Knicks supporter. The game was delayed for approximately 10 minutes while staff cleaned the area around Morgan before play resumed, eventual leading to a Knicks victory of 116-95.

The comedian has faced significant health hurdles in the past, including a serious car accident in 2014 that left him with severe injuries and required extensive rehabilitation. Thus, fans were especially concerned about his well-being following this latest incident.
