Meyers Leonard to Be Away from Heat Indefinitely After Using Anti-Semitic Slur

Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard will be away from the team indefinitely after his use of an anti-Semitic slur.

Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel shared the team's statement:

"The Miami HEAT vehemently condemns the use of any form of hate speech. The words used by Meyers Leonard were wrong and we will not tolerate hateful language from anyone associated with our franchise. To hear it from a Miami HEAT player is especially disappointing and hurtful to all those who work here, as well as the larger South Florida, Miami HEAT and NBA communities.
