Knicks Game Delayed as Celeb Fan ‘Lost the Contents of His Stomach’ While Sitting Courtside
Comedian Tracy Morgan “lost the contents of his stomach” while sitting courtside during Monday night’s game between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks.
The game at Madison Square Garden was carried live on ESPN, whose broadcast had just returned from a commercial break.
Play-by-play man Ryan Ruocco informed viewers that “a fan” had gotten sick courtside, which was causing a delay in the resumption of the game.
“Meanwhile, there’s a little delay here,” he noted. “They’re cleaning up courtside. I believe a fan lost the contents of their stomach courtside and it is currently being dealt with. Steph Curry is coming up next here on ESPN in the doubleheader.”
The broadcasters did not note the fan was Morgan, a longtime Knicks fan.
The game was delayed for about 10 minutes. During the delay, another fan – who goes by the X handle @RealJoshBrownie – recorded Morgan being rolled off the court in a wheelchair while holding a towel over his face.
As Morgan is wheeled off, Sopranos actor Steve Schirripa can be seen making a pained expression.
One user posted a clip of a member of MSG staff seemingly telling a referee, “We don’t have a mop.”
One user posted a photo of Morgan during the act.
