NEW YORK ā€“ Tracy Morgan says food poisoning was to blame for his taking ill during Monday's Knicks-Heat game, and that he's ā€œdoing OK.ā€

The actor-comedian posted an update on Instagram Tuesday morning, along with a smiling photo from a hospital bed, thanking fans for their concern. He also suggested humorously that perhaps his health episode spelled good luck for the Knicks.

"Iā€™m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning. 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!ā€ Morgan wrote.

ā€œMore importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court so maybe Iā€™ll have to break it out again in the playoffs,ā€ he quipped, ending his post with a #goknicks hashtag.

Morgan took ill in the second half of Monday nightā€™s Heat-Knicks game, interrupting the action at Madison Square Garden with 6:09 left in the third quarter while workers cleaned up the area around his seat. The delay lasted more than 10 minutes. The Knicks went on to win, 116-95.

The 56-year-old Morgan, a longtime Knicks fan, was featured prominently during the ā€œSaturday Night Liveā€ 50th anniversary weekend events, at both the ā€œSNL50: The Homecoming Concertā€ and the live ā€œSNL50: The Anniversary Celebrationā€ special.

He also has an upcoming untitled comedy pilot on NBC opposite Daniel Radcliffe, in which he plays a disgraced former football player looking to remake his image.
