Longtime actor and comedian Tracy Morgan was escorted in a wheelchair during New York's blowout victory over the Miami Heat Monday night. Morgan was seen throwing up and suffered a nosebleed.

In natural Twitter fashion, some fans jokingly attributed Morgan's sickness to Miami's performance Monday night.

However, social media mostly expressed concern for Morgan's condition, especially given his medical history.

I think ppl are forgetting that Tracy Morgan almost died after a Walmart semi truck collided with his car, killed passenger’s, and nearly killed him and others. Health complications are real and need to be taken into consideration!

The Heat lost their eighth consecutive matchup in the blowout defeat.

Heat guards Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro each had 20-point performances but got just eight combined points from forwards Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Haywood Highsmith. Bam Adebayo, Kel'el Ware, and Davion Mitchell all got in double figures, but the inability to stop the Knicks defensively halted any chance of victory. The Heat have the opportunity to end their losing streak against the Detroit Pistons (38-31) on Wednesday night.

For now, though, the focus is not on basketball but on Morgan's health.

"Folks think it’s funny that Tracy Morgan vomited on himself at a basketball game. We still didn’t learn anything from Chadwick," one user tweeted. "We still don’t view Black men with any type of sympathy, unless they are dead, in which we respond with sorrow or anger."
