Tracy Morgan Received An Interesting Reaction From The Crowd At MSG After Making His Triumphant Return Following Courtside Puking Incident
Tracy Morgan brought his signature energy back to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, just weeks after a health scare left fans concerned.
Sitting courtside, right where he belongs, the comedian soaked in the cheers as the Knicks hosted the Celtics. He flashed his trademark grin, blew kisses to the crowd, and gave a heartfelt “Go Knicks” when the camera landed on him. The Garden lit up.
Morgan had missed a few games since March 17, when he suddenly became ill during the Knicks-Heat matchup. Seated in his usual front-row spot, he vomited and needed assistance to leave the arena in a wheelchair. The moment quickly raised alarms, but Morgan later eased concerns in a candid Instagram update from his hospital bed.
Morgan Back In The Limelight
“It was food poisoning,” Morgan confirmed to fans. “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!”
He even managed to joke about it: “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.”
Morgan, who lives with diabetes and underwent a kidney transplant 15 years ago, has faced serious health battles before. In 2014, he survived a devastating car crash that left him in a coma for eight days. Tuesday’s appearance served as yet another reminder of his resilience.
The Knicks fell to the Celtics in a 119-117 overtime heartbreaker, but Morgan’s return still gave fans something to smile about. He sat beside actor Ben Stiller and was part of a celebrity-studded crowd that included Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco, Michael Strahan, and Carmelo Anthony.
With the regular season winding down, the Knicks have just one more home game before the playoffs kick off on April 19. Whether courtside or cheering from afar, Tracy Morgan’s back, and so is his love for the game.
