Tracy Morgan unfortunately fell ill during the New York Knicks game on March 17, 2025 at Madison Square Garden. Spectators did not hesitate to share videos on social media showing Morgan, 56, vomiting from his front-row seat. The images shocked fans, and many were asking the Saturday Night Live alum how he was feeling and what caused the sudden illness.

Find out what is happening with Morgan below and learn more about his health.
In the past, Morgan has faced several health issues, including alcoholism, diabetes, and a car accident in 2014. The actor was diagnosed with diabetes in 1996, and then in 2010 he underwent a kidney transplant. Throughout his career in the public eye, Morgan has been open about his struggles with alcohol.
During a previous interview on the Maino Presents Kitchen Talk show on Fox Soul, Morgan shared that after he was invited to SNL, he started drinking a lot.
«Because doing live television in front of 20 million people every week is like being shot out of a cannon», - he explained at the time. «When you’re famous and funny, every time you walk into a club, someone always says, 'Can I get you a drink? Can I get you a drink?' Because they think when you’re drunk, you’ll make them laugh, but being drunk has nothing to do with your sense of humor. You’re not even focused when you’re drunk. So I’m an alcoholic. I started drinking and got two DUIs in a year. I thank the Lord that I didn’t lose a leg, didn’t kill anyone, and didn’t go to jail».
In 2014, Morgan was involved in a six-vehicle car accident in New Jersey. The comedian and several others were rear-ended by a truck. Morgan was taken to the hospital with a broken hip, broken nose, traumatic brain injury, and multiple rib fractures as a result of the accident.
In an Instagram post published on March 18, 2025, Morgan revealed that he vomited due to food poisoning at the Knicks game.
«Thank you for your concern!» Morgan captioned a photo of himself lying in a hospital bed. «I'm fine now, and the doctors say it was food poisoning».
The comedian then thanked the Madison Square Garden staff for their assistance. He added in his caption: «Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me, and I must give thanks to the crew that had to clean it up. Thank you!»
At the end of his post, Morgan joked: «And, most importantly, the Knicks are now 1−0 when I vomit on the court, so maybe I’ll have to do it again in the playoffs».
