A strange video of Milwaukee Bucks center Meyers Leonard circulated recently on social media of him apparently cheering for the wrong team. 

After Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin makes a 3-pointer, the video shows Leonard jumping from his seat on the Bucks bench with both arms raised. Meyers then appears to realize he is celebrating the wrong team before sitting down with a confused look on his face. 

Leonard did spent one season with the Heat in 2019-20 before being traded. Maybe he just having flashbacks? 

Here's the preview for Wednesday's Game 5 in Milwaukee: 

Game time: 9:30 p.m., ET
