MIAMI (AP) — Meyers Leonard is getting another chance at the NBA, nearly two years after he used an antisemitic slur while playing a video game that was being livestreamed. A person with knowledge of the negotiations said Leonard and the Milwaukee Bucks have agreed on a 10-day contract. That opens the door for the 7-foot center to play in an NBA game for the first time since January 2021. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced. Leonard’s career was jeopardized and his reputation was seriously damaged in March 2021 when it was discovered that he used a slur while playing an online game as others watched on a livestream.
