During the second of the game, the actor-comedian got sick and started throwing up on the court while sitting at his courtside seat. The play was stopped in the third quarter for 10 minutes as Morgan was escorted out in a wheelchair, and the workers cleaned up the area around Morgan’s seat.
The whole world was praying for Morgan, and he took to Instagram to assure his fans that everything was alright. He posted a picture of himself lying on the hospital bed, showcasing his love for the Knicks even in this condition.
“Thank you for all your concern! 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!” he captioned his post.
Morgan did not shy away from making light of this situation as he showcased his funny side even in this situation. “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,” he added.

Morgan has been dealing with diabetes for several years now, which caused concern for the 30 Rock actor amongst his fans. However, they’ll be delighted now that his throwing up will forever be linked to the Knicks winning the game against Miami.
Morgan Turns Out to Be the Lucky Charm for the Knicks
After their loss against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday and the offensive powerhouse of their unit, Jalen Brunson out, things looked bleak for the Knicks. However, Morgan’s sickness and Karl-Anthony Towns’ epicness saved the day.
“It just got hot, it just got hot,” Towns said of his performance after the game. “It just started making shots, and my teammates trusted me with the ball. I’m glad I could repay their trust with some made shots.”
Towns registered 23 points, 7 rebounds, and three assists in the game at MSG. Fans would also want his streak to continue against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
