Miami Heat

After working his way back in the NBA, former Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard has reportedly signed a second 10-day contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. 

The news was first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Leonard is averaging 2.8 points and two rebounds in 6.8 minutes with the Bucks.  

After a two-year absence following his use of an anti-Semitic slur during an online gaming session, Leonard was given a second chance by the Bucks. 

Miami Heat forward Meyers Leonard was out of the league mostly he was suspended for using an anti-Semitic during a video game livestream.

While playing video games online Tuesday, Leonard was heard saying: "F---ing cowards; don't f---ing snipe me, you f---ing k--- b----." Leonard has since apologized in an Instagram and in several interviews.

"I acknowledge and own my mistake and there's no running from something like this that is so hurtful to someone else," Leonard wrote on social media. This is not a proper representation of who I am and I want to apologize to the Arisons, my teammates, coaches, front office, and everyone associated with the Miami Heat organization, to my family, to our loyal fans and to others in the Jewish community who I have hurt. I promise to do better and know that my future actions will be more powerful than my use of this word."
