A few moments after the alleged incident, Leonard appeared to get a concerning phone call, and had to step away from the game.
It’s baffling that in today’s day and age, a NBA star live streaming to thousands of people would utter such words.
The NBA player released a statement on his Instagram after the fact apologizing for actions and adding that he “didn’t know what the meant at the time.”
Only time will tell if Leonard’s apology will be enough to prevent cancel culture from claiming their next victim.
