Destry Allyn Spielberg had a front row seat (apparently her first!) to see the New York Knicks in action — and Tracy Morgan violently puking his guts out.
The youngest child of Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, Destry, 28, was courtside when Morgan, 56, vomited onto the hardwood at New York’s Madison Square Garden as the Knicks took on the Miami Heat on Monday, March 17.
Destry was visibly grossed out by Morgan’s illness, which she joked about via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, March 18.
“I had a great time,” she captioned a photo showing her repulsed face as Morgan got sick.
Destry’s playful posts were all in good fun and she wished the 30 Rock actor the best in his recovery in a separate message.
“Genuinely so glad he’s okay,” she wrote via her Story. “Honestly thank you for making my first courtside game one to remember. I will definitely never forget this one. 😅”
Steven, 78, and Kate, 71, who have been married since 1991, have a blended family of 7 children. Steven shares son Max, 39, with his ex-wife, actress Amy Irving, Kate shares daughter Jessica, 48, with her ex-husband, Robert Capshaw, and she adopted son Theo, 36, before meeting the Jurassic Park director. The couple share four children together: daughter Sasha, 34, son Sawyer, 33, and daughters Mikaela, 29, and Destry.
As for Morgan, he explained what led to his frightening medical episode — which caused the basketball game to be briefly delayed as he was escorted out of the arena with a wheelchair covering his face — in a Tuesday, March 18 post via Instagram.
“Thank you for all your concern!” Morgan wrote alongside a picture from his hotel bed. “I’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!”
Drew Barrymore was the breakout star of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial — and she left a particularly significant impression on the film’s director. Steven Spielberg, who produced and directed a then-7-year-old Barrymore in the 1982 film, revealed during an appearance at New York City’s TCM Film Festival on Saturday, January 25, that the actress, 49, inspired […]
Morgan added, “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 😅 #goknicks.”
The Knicks defeated the Miami Heat 116-95 on Monday night.
When Morgan is ready to return to Madison Square Garden, the arena made it clear the Knicks superfan will be a welcome spectator.
“We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside,” an arena representative told People in a statement.
