2-23-23 bucks announce signing of meyers leonard

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Bucks have signed Meyers Leonard to a 10-day contract, marking the 7-footer’s return to the NBA after his use of an antisemitic slur two years ago. The Bucks announced the signing Wednesday. ESPN first reported the Bucks were planning the move. Leonard hasn’t appeared in an NBA game since January 2021, when he injured his shoulder playing for Miami. Two months later, he used a slur while playing a video game online that people watched on a livestream. Commissioner Adam Silver fined him $50,000. Miami eventually traded him to the Oklahoma City, which released him.
