New York Knicks

Tracy Morgan's not going into hiding after his very public vomiting episode earlier this week ... TMZ Sports has learned he's actually trying to get out to another Knicks game as soon as he can.

As you know, the comedian was hospitalized on Monday after a bad bout with food poisoning caused him to upchuck all over the Madison Square Garden floor during New York's game with Miami.

Some had wondered if he'd just opt to catch his favorite team from the couch for the rest of the season from here ... but a source close to Morgan says he will be back at MSG despite the messy scene.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have kept a low profile since the Super Bowl thrashing, but there's a chance the superstar couple may soon reemerge at the World's Most Famous Arena to catch a Knicks game!

Trav and bro Jason chopped it up with Ben Stiller on this week's episode of "New Heights," with the actor telling the story of meeting Swift at a game a decade ago.

"I was there with my son," Stiller said. "We FaceTimed my daughter, who is a huge Swiftie. She's 23 now, we had the best time. She was incredible."

The biggest honor in entertainment means nothing to Ben Stiller -- at least in comparison to his beloved New York Knicks' success ... 'cause the actor said he'd rather have an NBA title than an Oscar!!

The comedy legend and "Severance" director admitted just how crazy he is about his basketball team on the latest episode of Travis and Jason Kelce's "New Heights" podcast ... when he admitted he'd be perfectly content with never getting a statuette in his trophy case -- as long as Larry O'Brien comes back to New York.

Stiller joked a Knicks title is a lot more likely ... so he's "definitely down" for it to play out like that.

Steven Spielberg’s daughter had a front-row seat to an unforgettable moment at her first-ever courtside NBA game Monday night—sitting next to Tracy Morgan as he threw up all over the court at the New York Knicks game.

Destry Allyn Spielberg took to Instagram on Tuesday to make light of the awkward moment ... sharing a hilarious photo of herself looking absolutely disgusted as she sat one seat away from the 'SNL' star while he got sick.

She jokes that she "had a great time" in her first meme-worthy photo, then followed up with a snap of Tracy spewing vomit, overlaid with a shrugging emoji. Hey, s*** happens!

Tracy Morgan's medical emergency Monday night all stemmed from some bad grub he had eaten earlier in the day.

The comedian said in an Instagram post Tuesday morning he projectile vomited all over the Madison Square Garden floor during the Knicks vs. Heat game because he was dealing with food poisoning.

It's unclear what he ingested to cause the ailment -- but Morgan fans can breathe a bit easier knowing the issue wasn't anything more sinister.

Seems Madison Square Garden officials believe Tracy Morgan sustained a true medical emergency at Monday night's Knicks game ... as a rep for the arena tells TMZ Sports they will welcome him back when he feels better.

The comedian got sick during the second half of New York's tilt with the Miami Heat -- vomiting so hard onto MSG's floor, he actually caused a delay in the game's action.

Some had wondered on X if he had been overserved or perhaps had eaten some bad food -- but in a statement on Tuesday morning, an MSG rep sure seemed to indicate it was a bit more serious when they said they would happily host him again despite the unfortunate scene.

Tracy Morgan caused a lengthy delay at the Knicks game Monday night ... after he upchucked all over the floor.

The troubling scene unfolded during the second half of New York's tilt with the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden ... when the comedian suddenly got sick in his courtside chair.

Images taken by fans at the arena show Morgan vomited near his feet ... and so much came out of his stomach, some of the contents actually splashed onto MSG's playing area.

A Lakers fan walked out of L.A.'s big win Thursday night $100,000 richer after nailing a half-court shot during a break in the action ... and he tells TMZ Sports he plans to use the earnings to help recover some cash from his wedding!!

We caught up with lifelong Purple and Gold supporter Mike Ball after his whirlwind 24 hours ... and he told us all about the highlight from his POV.

Bell admitted he blacked out after the ball went through the net ... but luckily, there was plenty of footage to capture the moment.

While he didn't want to disrupt the players huddled up while it went down, he said he was able to celebrate with some of the big-name celebrities courtside for the contest against the Knicks.

7:07 AM PT -- Stephen A. Smith just revealed the pregame squabble with LeBron James stemmed from previous comments the ESPN hoops analyst had made about Bronny James.

Stephen A. said the Lakers superstar was furious over "what he thought he had heard" him say about his eldest son on his "First Take" show ... and he explained The King's language was so vulgar, he couldn't repeat it on national airwaves.

Stephen A. made it clear he wished LeBron had talked to him about the issue in a more private setting ... though he added he understands where 'Bron was coming from as a father.

Jennifer Hudson was nearly drilled by a stray basketball at the Knicks game Tuesday night -- and while Common did his best to save the day ... she still appeared to end up with quite the ouchie.

The singer/actress cruised to Madison Square Garden with her boyfriend to catch New York's tilt with Steph Curry and the Warriors ... but unfortunately for the two, they got a little too close to the action in the tilt's second quarter.

Miles McBride attempted to steal a basketball right in front of the courtside couple -- but instead of corralling it, he knocked it right near Hudson's noggin.

The big winner at the Oscars was "Anora," but Ben Stiller was more focused on something happening thousands of miles away on Sunday ... the New York Knicks' matchup against the Miami Heat.

Stiller was a presenter at the biggest night in Hollywood ... experiencing a stage "malfunction" while announcing the Best Set Design category -- an obvious ploy to get some laughs.

Despite having a big job in the festivities, it's clear the "Severance" director wasn't gonna let it get in the way of his diehard Knickerbockers fandom ... as he sent out a celebratory social media post after New York narrowly beat Miami in overtime, 116-112.

Jon Stewart's got a message for sports gamblers ... don't do it -- or don't lose, at least -- because it forced him to get decked out in Philadelphia Eagles gear, pissing off his hometown crowd in Madison Square Garden.

Jon was rocking Eagles green from head to toe -- even had a bucket lid -- Saturday night at MSG, where he was watching his Knicks take on the Lakers. Normally, Jon's a beloved Knicks faithful, but some boos rained down on him ... due to his wardrobe.

He can thank Knicks star Jalen Brunson for all this -- they bet on last month's Eagles-Giants game, and since the G-Men came up short, Jon had to pay up ... in a Saquon Barkley jersey, no less! Jalen made sure to come over and compliment Jon's fit. 😂

Timothée Chalamet might be a "Complete Unknown" in theaters ... but he certainly wasn't one at the Knicks game Monday -- 'cause Karl-Anthony Towns took some time out of his postgame routine to gift him a jersey!!

The cool scene all unfolded just after KAT and New York beat up the Memphis Grizzlies at Madison Square Garden.

The 29-year-old center walked over to the actor -- who had some sweet courtside seats for the contest -- stripped off his top, signed it and handed it over. The two then posed for a grip of pictures.

Karl-Anthony Towns' return to Minnesota was interrupted by a couple of models who stormed the court in the middle of the game ... and as it turns out, this wasn't their first time causing chaos at a sporting event in the past week.

The moment went down two minutes before halftime on Thursday -- after the Knicks called for a timeout, two women in white jerseys bolted from their good seats and attempted to sprint onto the hardwood.

TMZ Sports has learned the ladies in question are Toochi Kash and Amberghini -- the same pair who rushed the field at Levi's Stadium when the San Francisco 49ers hosted the L.A. Rams.

The New York Knicks' national anthem singer gave quite the memorable rendition on Thursday ... when her performance was derailed by an overly excited fan -- but she bounced back and finished strong!!

The singer -- Liceli -- was only a few seconds into her performance when a spectator started shouting in a quiet Madison Square Garden. While it's unclear what the fan said, it was loud enough for her to pause in her tracks to figure out what was happening.

Even though she got tripped up, Liceli handled it like a pro -- picking up where she left off like nothing happened -- with the Garden faithful giving her a strong applause after she got going again.
