Spurs Announcer Fired After Alleged Affair with Player's Sister
Front Office Sports reported the move after an Instagram confession about an alleged affair with Loren Waters, the sister of Spurs player Lindy Waters III.
- Jacob Tobey, the television play-by-play voice of the San Antonio Spurs, is reportedly out as the team's lead announcer following allegations of an affair that surfaced earlier this week on social media.
- The allegations surfaced Tuesday after a post on Tobey's Instagram account stated, "I cheated on her with Loren Waters," which his girlfriend confirmed she authored.
- Loren Waters is the sister of San Antonio Spurs player Lindy Waters III, and reports suggest the removal stems from this connection creating potential conflicts of interest.
- Neither Tobey nor the San Antonio Spurs have provided public comment regarding the removal, though the announcer had been considered a rising talent since joining the booth in 2024.
- After FanDuel Sports Networks shuttered last season, the franchise faces broadcast uncertainty and must now secure new local game rights without its established announcer.
