Meyers Leonard, the NBA's free agent, has filed a lawsuit against what he says was a botched ankle joint surgery that resulted in nerve damage, acute pain, and mental anguish, as well as lost money. Dr. Martin O'Malley, Dr. David Kim, and the Hospital for Special Surgery have been charged with negligence and negligence in Monday's 'carelessness and negligence.' Meyers and his partner Elizabeth are requesting unspecified compensatory compensation, as well as court costs and other disbursements through his attorneys. When Leonard underwent the ankle surgery in April 2021, he was already ruled out for the Miami Heat due to season-ending shoulder surgery. Leonard also ignited a lot of controversy by using an anti-Semitic slur during a video game live stream that was seen by millions on the internet. Leonard has since completed a suspension, apologised, and was sent to Oklahoma City, where he was eventually released before playing a single game. He was a member of the Milwaukee Bucks for a brief time in the NBA last season. Leonard is still unsigned for the NBA regular season, which starts later this month.

Just last month, a senseless act was carried out at Clark High School in Las Vegas, and an unidentified 17-year-old student was assaulted. Several, including the boy's parents, believe it amounts to a hate crime. The teen victim's mother, who is also unidentified, said in a tweet that she confiscated him from class after spotting the hate symbol. The child, moreover, is Jewish and had been wearing a yarmulke when he was attacked. That said, the investigation is unsolved, and the perpetrators are at large, due to the school's lack of security cameras in its classrooms, locker rooms, or toilets. The Federal Bureau of Intelligence (FBI) declared on Sunday, more than six weeks after the initial incident, that it was poised to participate in the investigation into the suspected hate crime in Nevada, as it continues to incite indignation around the globe.

Leonard said he was unaware of the word's meaning in a large portion of video gaming,' telling anchor Jeremy Schaap that "there's less than ideal words used in a large portion of video games."
