Report: Meyers Leonard 'In Contact' with Jewish Organizations After Using Slur

Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard has reportedly been in contact with Jewish organizations and leaders after using an anti-Semitic slur during a Call of Duty stream Monday.

According to TMZ Sports, the Jewish organizations and leaders Leonard has reached out to want to "help [Leonard] learn and grow from this experience" rather than get him "canceled."

During the Call of Duty stream, Leonard said: "F--king cowards; don't f--king snipe me, you f--king k--e b---h."

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra told reports Leonard's words were "extremely distasteful and hurtful," and the Heat announced that Leonard will be away from the team indefinitely.
