Loose Canon:
Tracy Morgan, the bloke known for crackin' up audiences on "30 Rock" and "Saturday Night Live," seemed to hit a rough patch during Monday night's face-off between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden. Things took a turn for the worse when he tosses his guts up, right there, courtside! The moment brought a temporary halt to the game during the third quarter.
During the game's broadcast, the announcer mentioned they were clearing up after some fan who lost their lunch courtside.
CNN reached out to Morgan's reps, but they stayed tight-lipped.
A rep from Madison Square Garden spoke with CNN and said, "We hope Tracy recovers soon and we can't wait for him to show up courtside again."
