Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard was the lone player to stand during the national anthem as his teammates and Denver Nuggets players knelt to support the Black Lives Matter movement.

Leonard is the second NBA player to stand during the national anthem, following the Magic's Jonathan Isaac, since the NBA relaunched its games from the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.

Marc Spears of The Undefeated snapped a photo of Leonard standing during the national anthem with his right hand over his heart, while the rest of his teammates and coaches kneeled. Despite not kneeling, Leonard wore a Black Lives Matters t-shirt.

According to Spears, Meyers Leonard's brother, Bailey Leonard, is a U.S. Marine who has toured in Afghanistan at least twice throughout his career. The NBA has a rule requiring players to stand for the anthem since 1981. However, on Thursday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he would not force players to stand during the anthem.

“I respect our teams' unified act of peaceful protest for social justice and under these unique circumstances will not enforce our long-standing rule requiring standing during the playing of our national anthem,” Silver said, via Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes.

On Friday, before Leonard, Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac also stood during the national anthem and didn't wear a Black Lives Matters t-shirt. However, the reason why he stood was because of his religious beliefs. Isaac believes the teachings of Jesus Christ influenced his life and decisions, so kneeling during the national anthem wasn't right for him. However, he does support the Black Lives Matters movement.
