Steve Schirripa was walking through MSG’s celebrity row as Tracy Morgan was being escorted away from his courtside seat in a wheelchair after throwing up on the floor during Monday’s Knicks game. The “Sopranos” star appeared concerned as he glanced over at the comedian, who buried his head in a towel, as seen in a video that circulated on social media. Morgan, 56, also seemingly had a nosebleed. With a stoic look on his face, Schirripa put his head down and kept walking. Morgan’s courtside seat on Monday was next to the announcers table, where MSG Network broadcasters Kenny Albert and Walt “Clyde” Frazier were sitting.

Steven Spielberg’s daughter, Destry, attended her first courtside Knicks game Monday night, and the NBA stars weren’t the only thing she was up close and personal with. On Tuesday, Destry Spielberg shared to her Instagram story a zoomed in photo of her at Madison Square Garden making a rather disgusted face. Upon clicking to the next photo, viewers see what caused the discomfort.  Spielberg had just one single seat between her and comedian Tracy Morgan when the latter began vomiting on the floor, causing the Knicks-Heat game to be put on pause. Following the lighthearted photos of her reacting to the concerning incident, Spielberg then shared her best wishes for Morgan. “Genuinely so glad hes okay,” Spielberg wrote on her Instagram story. “Honestly thank you for making my first courtside game one to remember. I will never forget this one.”

“Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning,” Morgan wrote on Instagram. “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! More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court so maybe I’ll have to break it out again in the playoffs 😅.”

The 76ers All-Star guard put on a show — he finished with 46 points, including seven three-pointers and the game-tying three to force OT — and it wasn’t well received by MSG’s famed celebrity row of diehard Knicks faithful. Comedian Tracy Morgan flashed his right middle finger in the direction of Maxey after the 23-year-old celebrated saving Philadelphia’s season with his game-tying three at the end of regulation.

Stiller, meanwhile, was standing next to Morgan, as seen in a photo of the viral moment, which showed the actor staring at Maxey with an angry grin on his face. “I never really understood what ‘seething mad’ meant until i saw ben stiller’s face here,,buddy STEAMING lmaooo,” one fan wrote on X. Comedian and television host Jon Stewart poked fun at himself when his perplexed reaction to the Maxey show became a meme. “Respect to Maxey…but damn…I’m clearly getting too old for this s–t,” Stewart wrote in a post on X, including the image, which featured him standing at his courtside seat as Maxey ran past him towards the 76ers bench after hitting the game-tying shot.

Radio shock jock Howard Stern said that “black players won’t come over and say hello to me” when he’s sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden for Knicks games. Stern said that the players prefer to “go over to Spike Lee” and other black celebrities that he sits next to, including Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan. “The Knicks have been very kind to me. They put me right in the front row,” Stern said during Monday’s broadcast of his SiriusXM program “The Howard Stern Show.” His comments were reported by the news site Mediaite.

TNT was quick to issue an apology after comedian Tracy Morgan aired his views on the former Governor of Alaska on Thursday's Inside the NBA pregame show. When co-hosts Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley chatted with Morgan on the live broadcast, they seized the opportunity to indulge in a little bro-like banter, asking the comedian, "Tina Fey or Sarah Palin?" Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
