Wikipedia.....
On March 9, 2021, Leonard received criticism for using an anti-semitic slur (kike) during a Twitch stream while playing Call of Duty: Warzone. The Heat announced the same day that they were reviewing the matter and that Leonard would be “away from the team indefinitely.”[39] FaZe Clan cut ties with him later that day.[40] He later apologized for using the slur, stating that he did not know what it meant.[41]

Really? He didn’t know what it meant?
This boy went to college and he is 29 years old. And he didn’t know what kike meant?

Leonard is one of only two NBA players, along with Jonathan Isaac, to stand for the National Anthem before games during the resumed 2020 season.

Of course he knew what it meant - he knew enough to sandwich the slur between two f-bombs. And so what? I don't use ethnic slurs myself - it's mindless and cruel to slander entire ethnic groups of people. But using an ethnic slur should not mean having to issue groveling, insincere apologies and seeing one's career go up in flames. The woke culture of America is nearing Red China Cultural Revolution levels.
To: Responsibility2nd
I learned what it meant by watching Porky’s when I was a teen. Don’t make ‘em like that anymore. One of the characters kept calling a jewish kid a “kite.” The jewish kid schooled him by telling him the proper term, and then whooped that azz a few scenes later.

But do they walk around using the word?
How could Leonard use that word if he did not know the word?

The old double standard rears it’s ugly head again. Lebron James utters a anti semitic slur, says “my bad” and all is forgiven. White guy utters anti semitic slur and it’s 24/7 coverage, NBA fines, suspension and re education camps.
