Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan fell ill during the second half of Monday night’s New York Knicks versus Miami Heat game, causing a brief interruption at Madison Square Garden. This unexpected moment shifted the focus from the court to the beloved entertainer, highlighting his presence among fans.
A representative from Madison Square Garden expressed hopes for Morgan’s swift recovery, eagerly anticipating his return to his familiar courtside seat. The Associated Press reached out to Morgan’s team for comments but has yet to receive a response.
At 56 years old, Morgan is known for his long-standing support of the Knicks. He recently made a splash during the “Saturday Night Live” 50th anniversary celebrations, appearing prominently in both the “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” and the live “SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration” special.
In addition to his appearances in sports and comedy, Morgan is set to star in an upcoming untitled comedy pilot on NBC, where he portrays a disgraced former football player attempting to rebuild his image alongside co-star Daniel Radcliffe.
Despite the distraction, the Knicks secured a decisive 116-95 victory, continuing their campaign in the NBA.
