After Tracy Morgan triggered worry by puking all over the court at the New York Knicks game on Monday, March 17, he provided an update from his hospital bed.
“Thank you for all your concern!” Morgan posted via instagram on Tuesday, March 18. “I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning. Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out the crew that had to clean that up. Appreciate you!”

There is no proof that Morgan — who is a regular at Knicks games — got sick by eating the food at Madison Square Garden.
Regardless, when Morgan is ready to return to the “World’s Most Famous Arena,” the staff will be ready to welcome him with open arms.

I out-ate (…)
“We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside,” a Madison Square Garden representative told People in a statement Monday.
