Meyers Leonard, who was suspended in March 2021 after using an antisemitic slur during a video game livestream, has reportedly signed a 10-day contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Leonard hasn't played in the NBA since January 2021 due to his suspension and injuries that occurred right after being traded away by the Miami Heat following the incident, only to be released by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Leonard spoke on ESPN’s "Outside the Lines" at length about his remorse for using the antisemitic slur.

"I feel like I’m living in a bad dream," Leonard explained. "… And I know that I made a huge, huge mistake."

While admitting "there’s less than ideal language used" in video gaming, Leonard didn’t make any excuses. 

At the time, Leonard had more than 69,000 followers on his Twitch account and more than 550,000 between Twitter and Instagram when he was using the slur among other expletives while playing a video game.
