Oklahoma City Thunder player Meyers Leonard has reportedly been permitted back on the social gaming platform Twitch.
The apparent move comes about a week after Leonard was suspended by both Twitch and the NBA for using an anti-Semitic slur during a livestream that was captured on video and circulated on social media.
On March 9, the 29-year-old was heard calling an opponent a "f---ing K--- b---ch" while playing the popular first-person shooter game "Call of Duty." Leonard's account has nearly 70,000 followers.

The disturbing incident cost Meyers his gaming sponsors -- Origin PC and SCUF Gaming -- soon after.
The Miami Heat, who he was playing for at the time, traded him this week to the Thunder in exchange for Trevor Ariza and a second-round draft pick. Heat owner Micky Arison is Israeli-American.
Leonard apologized for his remarks and is said to have met with Jewish leaders and members of the Anti-Defamation League to educate himself about the word and the history of anti-Semitism.
He had not logged back into the Twitch account since the incident, and was planning to stay away for a while longer, according to TMZ Sports.
Leonard played in only five games for the Heat this year before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.
Last year, he turned heads in the NBA bubble when he was the only Heat player to stand during the national anthem, amid nationwide protests over systemic violence and police brutality.
