On Tuesday, the 56-year-old actor updated fans in an Instagram post featuring a photo taken from his hospital bedside of him smiling with a thumbs up while hooked up to monitoring devices.
“Thank you for all your concern,” began “The Last O.G.” star in the caption. “I’m doing ok now, and doctors say it was food poisoning. Appreciate my [Madison Square Garden] 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 concluded the update by noting, “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.”
The New York Knicks beat the Miami Heat during last night’s game, 116-95, but not before Morgan became ill during the third quarter and vomited on the hardwood from where he was seated courtside.
Footage of the incident circulating online shows a wan-looking Morgan vomiting before he is given a towel and rushed off the court in a wheelchair. The incident caused a minor delay before the game resumed, and Morgan’s favorite team claimed their victory.
At the time, the ordeal caused many to grow concerned online, with some even speculating about whether they thought they saw him leaving the arena with a bloody nose.
A representative for Madison Square Garden told The New York Post, “We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside.”
It’s been a relief to many of his fans that he’s in much better spirits, especially given this isn’t his first major health scare or even his first in public.
