Tracy Morgan and his fans were delighted to see the comedian make his return to Madison Square Garden. His appearance came after he gave the viewers a health scare from his previous attendance at the New York Knicks match. About three weeks ago, Morgan vomited on the court mid-game and was escorted out in a wheelchair.

This Tuesday, Tracy Morgan was spotted once again in the well-known arena to cheer for his team against the Boston Celtics. The fans alleged he looked in good health, much better than he looked in March. He was also given a welcome on the jumbotron at some point in the game.

He blew kisses in the camera and expressed his love for all the cheers that erupted in the stadium. To end it with he gave a chant for his team’s support. Unfortunately for him, the Knicks had a close and disappointing 117-119 loss in overtime.

He sat next to fellow diehard Knicks fan Ben Stiller, who prayed for his steady health while he was away. At some point, he also shook hands with Josh Hart, who also expressed concern over the actor’s safety after the Knicks’ 116-95 win over the Heat.

Following his health setback last month, Tracy Morgan took to his social media and reassured his fans of his recovering health after the doctors diagnosed food poisoning. He also took a moment to thank everybody for their well wishes and the crew for taking care of him after the incident.

He joked that he might repeat it next time for another Knicks win. Despite the team’s hard loss, the arena was packed with celebrities. The team’s former fame Carmelo Anthony was also out after his new election to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025. Giants star Michael Strahan and NHL legend Wayne Gretzky also made a wave with their cheers. Singer Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco also had an evening out at the game.

Tracy Morgan takes sole credit for repping the Knicks all the way through

Tracy Morgan never wavered from his support for the New York Knicks. He heaped high praise on the team when he joined the NBA Today media last season. The legendary actor called them “winners” who did not play to lose.

Safe to say, the SNL alum was a fierce representative of the team that came out of sheer love. Looking at the enthusiasm, show host Malika Andrews questioned if there was any other celebrity who advocated for the Knicks as much as Morgan did.

To the question, the 30 Rock star confidently denied of knowing any such person. He went on to share that he had been a constant at the Garden since 1977. He also wasn’t alone in the love, his dad also joined him in the stands. By then, the game became bigger than a leisure watch for him. He confessed that the game for him was a memory of his dad, who passed away in 1987.

Oftentimes in the past, Tracy Morgan has given evidence of his loyalty to the sport. He made his stance clear that his affiliation was for the “good, bad, and ugly”. He believed he had been to 200 games by now. In all of them, he sat in the same seat and always brought a plus one.
