He recently signed a 10-day contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, and reflected on the past two years of his life, which he described as the hardest stretch he had ever experienced as an adult. Leonard acknowledged that he had made an ignorant mistake and apologized to anyone who was listening. He also mentioned his efforts to show his remorse and make things right within the Jewish community, which he has been involved with for some time.
