The Heat have already condemned Leonard’s actions and stated that he will be away from the team indefinitely.
Leonard did issue a lengthy apology for his comments, stating that he did not know what the slur meant.
Leonard is out for the remainder of the 2020-21 season due to a shoulder injury. He has a team option on his contract for next season, but it seems his future in Miami is certainly in doubt.
