Tracy Morgan experienced a food poisoning incident at a Knicks game but quickly channeled the event into humor. The Madison Square Garden staff’s swift action ensured his safety, and Morgan later thanked them, joking that his presence brought the Knicks luck.

Fans were on edge after Tracy Morgan‘s latest health scare, but the comedian turned that worry into laughter in no time. Following an incident where he got sick at a New York Knicks game, Morgan thanked the Madison Square Garden team for their prompt help and humorously suggested that his unexpected presence was the “good luck charm” that led to the Knicks’ win. With backing from celebrities like Ben Stiller and Robert Griffin III, Morgan’s humor and strength shine through.

The day after the unsettling incident, Morgan took to Instagram to ease his fans’ worries. From his hospital bed, he shared a cheerful photo along with a message: “Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning.”

He showed appreciation for the Madison Square Garden staff for their quick help and jokingly acknowledged the cleanup crew who dealt with the aftermath of his sudden illness.

Morgan humorously noted that the Knicks won right after he left, hinting that his little episode might have brought them some luck: “More importantly, 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.”

The situation blew up on social media, attracting a ton of attention from fans and celebrities alike who were sending their best wishes. One person by the username “@CheetahPlains” commented “Is this real?”.

Rapper 50 Cent also joined the conversation with a funny comment, implying that Morgan might have indulged in “too much Branson cognac,” referring to his own brand.

During the third quarter, with 6:09 remaining, the game was stopped for more than ten minutes while Madison Square Garden staff attended to Morgan and cleaned up the area. Their quick thinking ensured that everyone was safe and comfortable. Morgan later expressed his thanks to the staff for their fast help, acknowledging both their medical support and the cleanup work.

The prompt medical assistance and the wave of encouragement from both fans and peers emphasize the strong admiration and regard he holds in the entertainment scene.
