We devoted a paper to him on the occasion of his return to the NBA, Meyers Leonard achieved his goals: contract until the end of the season with the Bucks, golden opportunity to get a first ring at 31 years old. What redemption.
774 days without basketball. A slump in his career, the fault of remarks deemed anti-Semitic in full live Twitch. And now less than a month following his return – and according to information from Adrian Wojnarowski – Meyers Leonard is committed until the end of the season with the Bucks. The “right place/right time” is exceptional. He was only asking for redemption, the Wisconsin franchise offered him a 1st place in the East. Well, in terms of individual guarantees, nothing well established for the moment. Meyers Leonard played only five games for an average of seven minutes per night and stats… insignificant. If Jon Horst – General Manager of the Bucks – keeps him aboard the ship, it’s probably in case of injury to Brook Lopez, the team’s only real position 5. A kind of comprehensive insurance. Prepare for the storm while the sea is still calm. The kind of move which makes a good GM an excellent GM. It remains to be seen what Meyers Leonard will give on his minutes of games. Was a time, the inside had 30 points and 12 rebounds on a Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. Milwaukee is asking for the leftovers.
ESPN Sources: Seven-footer Meyers Leonard is signing with the Milwaukee Bucks for the rest of the season. Leonard’s second 10-day deal with Bucks expired yesterday and now he remains with the East’s No. 1 seed through the playoffs.
