Tracy Morgan appears to fall ill at NBA game, taken away in wheelchair

Tracy Morgan appeared to fall ill and required medical attention during Monday night’s NBA game between the New York Knicks and Miami Heat at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

The ’30 Rock’ and ‘Saturday Night Live’ star was courtside for the Eastern Conference tilt, as he is for most Knicks games during the season. Social media photos showed that Morgan became ill in the third quarter, causing a delay to the game as he was tended to.

Video posted on X showed Morgan being taken off the court in a wheelchair during the delay in the third quarter. Another post alleged the actor was dealing with a nosebleed, as well.

After the delay, the Knicks closed out the matchup with a 116-95 win over the visiting Heat.

‘We hope everything’s good with Tracy Morgan,’ Knicks guard Josh Hart said after the game. ‘Avid, lifetime Knick fan so prayers go out to him and his health and safety.’

The 56-year-old comedian has dealt with multiple health issues. In 2010, he underwent a kidney transplant; in 2014, he spent two weeks in a coma following a car crash.

‘We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside,’ a Madison Square Garden representative told PEOPLE.

This story will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
