Tracy Morgan is “doing OK” following his medical emergency at the New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat game.
“Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing OK now and doctors say it was food poisoning,” the comedian, 56, wrote from his hospital bed Tuesday, one day after after he was seen vomiting courtside at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
“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 added, “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 😅 #goknicks.”

Shortly after Monday’s concerning episode at MSG, Morgan was seen wiping his face with a towel as he was wheeled out of the arena in a wheelchair to receive medical attention.
One eyewitness claimed on social media that the “30 Rock” alum was “bleeding from [his] nose” and “could barely stand up.” Videos on X also showed Morgan’s friends rushing to his side to assist him and make sure he was alright.
The actor’s bile reportedly sprayed onto the court and his medical incident delayed the game in the third quarter for about 10 minutes while the mess was cleaned up.

“We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside,” a Madison Square Garden spokesperson told The Post in a statement.
Knicks shooting guard Josh Hart also sent along his well-wishes for the comedian after his team’s 116-95 win against the Heat.
“We hope everything is good with Tracy Morgan, avid lifetime Knicks fan, so prayers go out to him and his health and safety,” Hart said.
Reps for Morgan did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment at the time.

The Bronx native has struggled with several health issues in the past, including a battle with diabetes that had him taking type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic to help with weight loss.
At the time, he shared that taking the medication cut his appetite “in half.”
Moran also underwent a kidney transplant in 2010 and sustained severe injuries in a car crash that left him in a coma for eight days in 2014.
