Tracy Morgan was wheeled out of Madison Square Garden during Monday’s New York Knicks game after vomiting all over the parquet while seated courtside.

Photos and video making the rounds on social media show the “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” alum, 56, throwing up on the court as the Knicks faced off against the Miami Heat. TMZ reports that the vomit even crossed into the playing area.

The incident occurred in the third quarter as workers tried to clean up the area surrounding the native New Yorker’s seat. With just over six minutes left in the quarter, the game was paused for over 10 minutes. The Knicks ultimately won 116-95.

Representatives for Morgan did not immediately respond to the Daily News’ request for comment.

A venue representative told People: “We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside.”

The native New Yorker and two-time Emmy nominee has long contended with health and medical crises, including diabetes, alcoholism and a 2010 kidney transplant, per Rolling Stone.

Two years later, Morgan collapsed at the Sundance Film Festival, due to what his publicist said was a combination of exhaustion and altitude at the Park City, Utah event, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In 2014, a Walmart tractor-trailer hit Morgan’s limo on the New Jersey Turnpike, killing the comedian’s mentor James McNair. The collision left Morgan comatose for two weeks. He also suffered a broken leg, nose and ribs and was wheelchair-bound for several months, after which, Morgan had to relearn how to walk and talk.

Morgan’s latest health scare comes on the heels of the star-studded “SNL50” celebration last month, which he attended.
