Comedian Tracy Morgan wheeled off after vomiting on Madison Square Garden court, leading to delay in Knicks-Heat game

The New York Knicks’ 116-95 win over the Miami Heat was delayed for about 10 minutes on Monday night after Tracy Morgan got sick and vomited on the court.

The longtime actor and comedian was sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden for the contest on Monday. It’s unclear what led up to the incident, but he was suddenly seen vomiting a lot onto the court in front of him.

Morgan was eventually taken out of the arena in a wheelchair. Further specifics of his condition are not yet known.

The delay, which is easily one of the strangest in recent NBA memory, lasted about 10 minutes. The game then continued without any issue.

Morgan spent years on “Saturday Night Live” and is perhaps best known for playing Tracy Jordan on the NBC show “30 Rock” alongside Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey. The 56-year-old, who was born in the Bronx, is a lifelong Knicks fan. He has dealt with several significant health issues throughout his life, including undergoing a kidney transplant in 2010 and being in a coma for two weeks after a car crash in 2014. It’s unclear if Monday’s incident is related to his past health issues at all, or if Morgan simply fell ill.

The Knicks had no issue getting past the Heat on Monday, even with the slight delay. After falling into a double-digit hole in the first quarter, the Knicks outscored Miami 41-15 in the third period before cruising to the 21-point win. Mikal Bridges led the way with 28 points in the win, which pushed the Knicks to 43-24 on the year. Karl-Anthony Towns added 23 points and seven rebounds.

The Knicks will take on the San Antonio Spurs next on Wednesday night in Texas.
