Out again Monday Leonard (calf) will remain on the sidelines for Monday's game in Detroit.
Impact Monday will mark Leonard's fifth straight game on the inactive list, but he's not a large enough part of the rotation for his playing status to impact fantasy hoops. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday in Indiana, but with that game being the first of a back-to-back, he should be considered questionable, at best.

Re-ups with Bucks Leonard signed a second 10-day contract with the Bucks on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Leonard appeared in four games during his first 10-day stint but saw more than five minutes in only one contest. However, he proved himself enough to earn a second 10-day deal. Leonard may be heading toward a longer stay in Milwaukee considering the team waived Sandro Mamukelashvili on Wednesday.

Returns to action Friday Leonard racked up five points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes during Friday's 128-99 win over the Heat.
Impact Leonard was back on an NBA court for the first time in almost two years, playing 15 minutes off the bench. Having served his time for an off-court indiscretion, Leonard will be hoping to turn his current 10-day contract into more of a long-term deal. While there is obviously nothing to do here from a fantasy perspective, it is good to see a player of his age back on the court contributing to winning basketball.

AP source: Bucks give Meyers Leonard chance to resume career
Meyers Leonard is getting another chance at the NBA, nearly two years after he used an anti-Semitic slur while playing a video game that was being livestreamedFEBRUARY 21, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joins Milwaukee on 10-day pact Leonard agreed to a 10-day contract with Milwaukee on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Before striking a deal with the Bucks, Leonard had been out of the NBA since March 2021. While he was on the mend from a left shoulder injury that later required season-ending surgery that February, Leonard was suspended by the Heat for using an anti-Semitic slur in a Twitch stream. He was traded to the Thunder later that month and immediately waived. Leonard then had another surgery later in 2021 to address an ankle injury, and he's spent the better part of the past two years rehabbing both injuries. He's since gained medical clearance and has apologized for using the slur and met with leaders in the Jewish community as a sign of good faith. It's unclear what the 2012 first-round pick can bring to the table following a two-year hiatus, but he could have a shot at claiming a backup role in Milwaukee's frontcourt until Bobby Portis (knee) is cleared to return.
