(CNN)Meyers Leonard is returning to the NBA two years after he last played in the league after the Milwaukee Bucks announced on Wednesday he had signed on a 10-day contract.
The 30-year-old center has been out of the league since 2021 after he used an antisemitic slur during a livestream of him playing a video game.
In March 2021, while he was a member of the Miami Heat, Leonard said "f**king cowards. Don't f**king snipe at me. You k**e b*tch" when playing "Call of Duty: Warzone."
After the incident came to light, Leonard apologized in an Instagram post. "I am deeply sorry for using an anti-Semitic slur during a livestream yesterday," Leonard wrote.
"My ignorance about its history and how offensive it is to the Jewish community is absolutely not an excuse and I was just wrong."
The NBA fined Leonard $50,000 and suspended him for a week. The Heat told him to stay away from the team indefinitely before trading him to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The league mandated Leonard to participate in a cultural diversity program.
Since the controversial episode, Leonard has worked with several Jewish organizations and leaders.
