Tracy Morgan says he's OK, food poisoning caused incident at Knicks-Heat game
By The Associated Press
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.
