Following the incident, Leonard told the person he was playing with he was stepping away for a phone call and then said that he had to go because his wife needed him.Leonard released an apology statement on Tuesday night.“I am deeply sorry for using an antisemitic slur during a livestream yesterday. While I didn’t know what the word meant at the time, my ignorance about its history and how offensive it is to the Jewish community is absolutely not an excuse and I was just wrong,” he wrote.

He told his Black teammates that he supports the Black Lives Matter movement and that he was standing to honor his brother, who served as a Marine.In a sign of solidarity with him, a Black teammate always put an arm around Leonard’s leg during the anthem.Leonard, is 7-foot-1 center and was a former first-round draft pick of the Portland Trail Blazers.
