A representative from Madison Square Garden wished Tracy Morgan well following Monday's incident.

Morgan appeared to fall ill while sitting courtside at a New York Knicks win over the Miami Heat. The actor and comedian, a Bronx native and regular at the World's Most Famous Arena, was taken off in a wheelchair after vomiting on the floor.

Per TMZ, an MSG spokesperson shared a short statement wishing Morgan a speedy recovery so he can return to the iconic venue soon.

"We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside," the spokesperson said.

Play paused for approximately 10 minutes to clean up the court after Morgan's incident. New York eventually closed out a 116-95 victory over Miami behind 28 points from Mikal Bridges.

Fan footage of the moment surfaced on social media, with many observers recklessly speculating on his condition or making callous jokes despite his past health issues. The 30 Rock star, who has diabetes, underwent a kidney transplant in 2010. Four years later, Morgan suffered a severe brain injury and broken bones in a car crash that left him in a coma and killed his friend, James McNair.

As of Tuesday morning, there are no public updates available on Morgan.

Knicks forward Josh Hart, who recorded a triple-double on Monday, expressed concern for Morgan after the game.

"First and foremost, obviously we hope everything is good with Tracy Morgan," Hart told reporters. "Avid, lifetime Knick fan, so prayers go out to him and his health and safety."

Ben Stiller, another prominent celebrity Knicks fan, sent "good thoughts" to Morgan over social media. Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III was among those who prayed for the 56-year-old to pray for the 56-year-old.
