The player will stay with the Milwaukee Bucks until the end of the season, the organization announced. Previously, Leonard played on two 10-day contracts.
He managed to appear in 5 games for the team, averaging 2.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in under 7 minutes of playing time.
Leonard came into public news two years ago when he used an anti-semitic slur 'kike' while streaming a video game on Twitch.
The player was initially fined $50,000 and suspended for a week.
"While I didn’t know what the word meant at the time, my ignorance about its history and how offensive it is to the Jewish community is absolutely not an excuse and I was just wrong," Leonard said at the time.
At the end of the 2020-21 season, Leonard had shoulder and ankle surgeries.
