More on this storyline
The Bucks have been monitoring Leonard’s progress for over a year, and conducted a workout with him last month, sources said. Milwaukee had an open roster spot and wanted to bring in a big man with shooting ability and a playoff history. Leonard played 28 playoff games in his seven seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers. -via ESPN / February 20, 2023

Meyers Leonard, a former first-round NBA draft pick who hasn’t played in the league since 2021 after using an antisemitic slur during a video game livestream, told ESPN there are “no excuses” for what he did, but that he expects to play in the NBA again. “I feel like I’m living in a bad dream,” Leonard told Jeremy Schaap of “Outside the Lines” in an interview that aired Tuesday. “… There’s not a hateful cell in my body. And I know that I made a huge, huge mistake.” -via ESPN / January 31, 2023
