On Sunday, Meyers Leonard decided to hang up his basketball shoes after a decade-long career in the NBA. Throughout his journey, Leonard was a valuable player for teams like the Portland Trail Blazers, Miami Heat, and Milwaukee Bucks.
In 2021, Leonard faced a significant setback when he was fined $50,000 and suspended from team activities due to an anti-Semitic remark he made during a livestream while playing a video game. Following this incident, the Miami Heat traded him to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who ultimately released him.
After spending some time recovering from an injury, Leonard took steps to educate himself and make amends for his previous mistake. In 2023, he joined the Milwaukee Bucks, marking the end of his professional basketball career.
