MIAMI (AP) — The NBA has fined Meyers Leonard $50,000 and suspended him from all Miami Heat facilities and activities for one week, in response to his use of an anti-Semitic slur. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced the sanctions Thursday, two days after the video began circulating on social media. Silver says “Meyers Leonard’s comment was inexcusable and hurtful and such an offensive term has no place in the NBA or in our society.”
