Meyers Leonard is now free to join Twitch once again, according to TMZ Sports.
“We’ve learned his ban has been lifted just over a week after he used an anti-Semitic slur during a video game session.
Remember, the former Miami Heat player was playing “Call of Duty” on March 9 when he hurled the K-word at an opposing player.
Twitch immediately blocked Leonard from the platform.”
Meyers, who has since been traded by the Miami Heat, was hit with a $50k fine and a 1-week suspension from the NBA for his actions. He has since apologized for using the slur and has also been working with various Jewish leaders to educate himself about the dangers of using that word.
As far as the 69,000 followers he has on Twitch — TMZ reports that shouldn’t expect to see him for sometime, as he doesn’t plan on logging back on for sometime as he works on educating himself.

Leonard was traded from the Miami Heat to the OKC Thunder, but he is not expected to ever suit up for the team.
“Our experience with the Heat has been anything but ordinary. Yet, it was nothing but exceptional”, Elle Leonard said in a statement on social media.
“Miami truly shines brighter with a family like the Heat.”
