Tracy Morgan sparked concern among the crowd during the recent Miami Heat-New York Knicks game when he vomited on the court. The incident caused a brief delay, while the 30 Rock star was helped off MSG courtside in a wheelchair.
Many displayed their worries on social media, including the Severance director Ben Stiller. The 59-year-old wrote on X:
“Sending good thoughts to Tracy Morgan”
Stiller and Morgan went viral last year after attending the 76ers-Knicks playoffs game at Madison Square Garden. Both sat close to each other at the courtside when Tyrese Maxey hit a match-saving shot for the 76ers. The crucial shot brought the game to overtime and got meme-worthy reactions from the Knicks game, alongside Tracy Morgan and Ben Stiller.
In a blink-and-miss moment captured during the live broadcast, Morgan flipped the bird at the 76ers point guard, while Stiller was also visibly angered. The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart, stood in disbelief beside the Tropic Thunder star. Many Knicks fans were disappointed after Tyrese Maxey hit the exceptional shot, but Stiller took to X to appreciate the NBA pro. He wrote:
“Respect to Maxey. We should have had it. Will finish it in Philly.”
The New York Knicks ultimately won the series by 4-2 and advanced to the conference semifinals against the Indiana Pacers.
