He was given an indefinite suspension in March 2021 after being caught dropping an anti-Semitic slur during his live stream of the game.

Myers&#8217; career averages are just 5.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, but he could be a reliable floor stretcher for the Lakers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DeMarcus Cousins \u200b\u200band Myers Leonard battle for final roster slot at Lakers facility  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iLD7KmXmUa\">pic.twitter.com\/iLD7KmXmUa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \ud835\ude4e\ud835\ude5d\ud835\ude6a\ud835\ude57\ud835\ude5d \u2076\ud80c\udd53 (@OVOLakeShow) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OVOLakeShow\/status\/1613665090682900481?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">January 12, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Lakers went from Kawhi Leonard rumors to Myers Leonard rumors. <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XPPvYf9zPN\">pic.twitter.com\/XPPvYf9zPN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Petite Lakers fan \ud83e\udd2b (@ThePettiesLA) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThePettiestLA\/status\/1613697952454963200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">January 13, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"qme\" dir=\"ltr\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z9VBVucgKH\">pic.twitter.com\/Z9VBVucgKH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Philip \ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\uddfc (@phrrp) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/phrrp\/status\/1613666257701851144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">January 12, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, Cousins \u200b\u200blast played for the Denver Nuggets in the 2021-22 NBA season as a backup to Nikola Jokic.
