Eligibility
Meyers Leonard is signing a 10-day contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard last played in early 2021 when he underwent season-ending surgery and then uttered an antisemitic slur on a video game livestream. He could see some minutes while Giannis Antetokounmpo is sidelined, but remains off the fantasy radar.
Heat forward Meyers Leonard is out indefinitely after using an anti-Semitic slur on the live stream, the team says.
Fantasy Impact
Teammates Kelly Olynyk and Precious Achiuwa will continue to play the minutes at the power forward position. It'll be worth monitoring any updates on Leonard's status with the Heat going forward.
Miami Heat C Meyers Leonard (shoulder) is expected to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, as reported by Shams Charania.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard only played in three games for the Heat this season, suffering a shoulder injury that had kept him out over the last three weeks. With the big-man being officially ruled out for the remainder of the season, the Heat will look to rely more on Kelly Olynyk and Andre Iguodala to spell Bam Adebayo at center. Olynyk is still available on 86% of ESPN league waiver wires and Iguodala is available virtually everywhere, providing DFS players with a couple sneaky plays in Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards.
Meyers Leonard (shoulder) will not take part in Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard has been a complete non-factor this season due to his inability to get on the court due to injury. The opportunities have been there due to the Heat being ravaged by contact tracing this season. It's hard to invest in Leonard moving forward given that we don't have a sample size for him this season.
Heat center Meyers Leonard remains out Friday against the Raptors as he continues to battle a shoulder injury.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard, who has been sidelined since Jan. 9, remains without a timetable to return as he did not travel with the Heat on their current four-game road trip. Bam Adebayo should continue to see heavy minutes down low for Miami.
