A video circulating on social media captured Tracy Morgan being escorted out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair, holding a towel over his face as paramedics and arena staff assisted him. A post on X claimed the comedian was experiencing nose bleeding and struggled to stand.

 

The incident took place in the third quarter, with footage from the ESPN broadcast showing a Knicks towel boy speaking with a referee while working to clean up the mess.

Morgan has been a longtime fixture at Madison Square Garden and is regarded as one of the Knicks’ most dedicated celebrity fans, having attended his first game in 1981.

Tracy Morgan was born on November 10, 1968, in The Bronx, New York. He grew up in a tough neighborhood and faced significant hardships, including the loss of his father to AIDS-related complications in 1987. Morgan turned to comedy as an escape, performing stand-up before landing his breakout role on Saturday Night Live (SNL) in 1996. His over-the-top characters and wild sense of humor made him a fan favorite. After leaving SNL in 2003, he starred in 30 Rock as Tracy Jordan, a role that earned him critical acclaim and an Emmy nomination.

Morgan has battled several health challenges throughout his life. In 1996, he was diagnosed with diabetes, which he struggled to manage for years. He later admitted to ignoring doctors’ warnings until complications, including the possibility of amputation, forced him to take the disease seriously.

One of the most significant events in Morgan’s life occurred on June 7, 2014, when he was involved in a devastating car accident. A Walmart truck crashed into his limousine on the New Jersey Turnpike, killing his close friend James McNair and leaving Morgan with life-threatening injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, broken ribs, a broken leg, and severe internal trauma. He spent weeks in a coma and underwent extensive rehabilitation to regain his mobility and cognitive function.
