The Heat said late Tuesday that Leonard, 29, will be “away from the team indefinitely” as the team cooperates with the league’s investigation. “I am deeply sorry for using an anti-Semitic slur during a livestream yesterday,” he wrote. Twitch is owned by Amazon, whose CEO, Jeff Bezos, also owns The Washington Post. Later Tuesday, FaZe Clan said in a statement posted to Twitter that it is cutting ties with Leonard. Two other gaming companies in business with Leonard, Origin PC and Scuf Gaming, also announced in identical statements that they have “decided to cease our working relationship” with Leonard.
