The San Antonio Spurs have parted ways with play-by-play announcer Jacob Tobey, following an online controversy involving allegations of infidelity with the sister of Spurs guard Lindy Waters III.
The organization ended its relationship with the lead television broadcaster on July 9, 2026, after multiple posts surfaced on Tobey's personal Instagram account, creating a significant distraction for the NBA franchise.

The social media posts included photo booth images of Tobey with Loren Waters alongside a public confession.
Users speculated that the posts were published by Tobey's disgruntled girlfriend after she gained access to his profile.
"This is my girlfriend of six years," read the post. "But I cheated on her with Loren Waters.
So feel free to continue following me if you really think I'm a good guy because I'm not.
:)"

The broadcaster's girlfriend later appeared to confirm her involvement through her personal social media accounts, noting that their six-year relationship had officially concluded.
Career Cut Short
Team officials and Tobey did not provide detailed public comments, but sources confirmed to Marca that his tenure with the Spurs has concluded.
The sudden termination interrupts a rising sports media career. Tobey joined the Texas franchise in 2024 and signed a multi-year contract extension earlier this year.
Before his employment in San Antonio, Tobey called games for Fox Sports and the Pac-12 Network, and worked as a sports journalist for 9NEWS in Denver.
The vacancy arrives as the Spurs prepare for the upcoming NBA season with a young roster featuring Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper.
