The NBA has fined Heat center Meyers Leonard $50,000 and suspended him from all team facilities and team activities for one week after Leonard used an antisemitic slur while streaming himself playing Call of Duty on Twitch on Monday.
In addition to the fine and suspension, Leonard will also be required to participate in a cultural diversity program.
“Meyers Leonard’s comment was inexcusable and hurtful and such an offensive term has no place in the NBA or in our society," NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. "Yesterday, he spoke to representatives of the Anti-Defamation League to better understand the impact of his words and we accept that he is genuinely remorseful.
