What happened to Tracy Morgan? Latest on actor's courtside incident during Heat-Knicks game

Comedian, actor and New York Knicks superfan Tracy Morgan caused a delay of game at Madison Square Garden on Monday night. Morgan is a regular at Knicks games for most of his career, usually sitting at courtside. However, an incident led to the momentary stoppage of New York's battle against the Miami Heat.

In the third quarter, the officials called a delay of game after a fan threw up at courtside, spilling onto the court. As it turned out, the fan was Tracy Morgan, who was not feeling well. He also bled from the nose and was unable to stand up.

The incident delayed the game for several minutes, with Morgan getting into a wheelchair and covering his face with a towel. The 30 Rock actor has had health issues before like diabetes and dealt with alcoholism early in his career as a comedian, but has been sober for more than 20 years.

According to People Magazine, Morgan's representatives didn't reply to an inquiry on what happened to the comedian. He underwent a kidney transplant back in 2010 and was involved in a vehicular accident in 2014. He suffered a broken leg and was in a coma for two weeks before making a full recovery.

Here's a statement from Madison Square Garden regarding what happened to Morgan:

"We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside."

Some fans were quick to judge Morgan without looking into his health problems over the past 20 years. Nevertheless, several high-profile celebrities expressed their sympathies toward the Saturday Night Live alum and offered prayers for his quick recovery.
