NEW YORK
(AP) — Tracy Morgan says food poisoning was to blame for his taking ill
during Monday's Knicks-Heat game, and that he's “doing OK.”
The actor-comedian posted an update on Instagram Tuesday morning, along
with a smiling photo from a hospital bed, thanking fans for their
concern. He also suggested humorously that perhaps his health episode
spelled good luck for the Knicks. |

"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!” Morgan wrote.
“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,”
he quipped, ending his post with a #goknicks hashtag.
Morgan took ill in the second half of Monday night’s Heat-Knicks
game, interrupting the action at Madison Square Garden with 6:09
left in the third quarter while workers cleaned up the area
around his seat. The delay lasted more than 10 minutes. The
Knicks went on to win, 116-95.
The 56-year-old Morgan, a longtime Knicks fan, was featured
prominently during the “Saturday Night Live” 50th anniversary
weekend events, at both the “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” and
the live “SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration” special.
He also has an upcoming untitled comedy pilot on NBC opposite
Daniel Radcliffe, in which he plays a disgraced former football
player looking to remake his image.
