Jacob Tobey returning as San Antonio Spurs announcer

Jacob Tobey is returning to his role as the play-by-play announcer for the San Antonio Spurs following a period of uncertainty. His return comes after reports in July suggested he had been fired following allegations of an affair involving the sister of Spurs player Lindy Waters III.

In a statement shared on social media, Tobey expressed gratitude to the organization for allowing him time to address personal matters. He acknowledged the need to “regain trust within the organization and across our community” and pledged to remain active in the community with enthusiasm.

While the Spurs organization had not previously commented on the personal allegations, the reversal of his departure was confirmed by multiple sources. Tobey is expected to rejoin the broadcasting team for the upcoming season.
