NBA News NBA News, Match Reports and Updates
Well, here’s a direction no one saw the Spurs’ summer going. After two seasons, Spurs’ television play-by-play announcer Jacob Tobey has reportedly been fired after allegedly having an affair with Loren Waters, the sister of Spurs player Lindy Waters III. The news was first reported by Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports, citing sources.
Rumors started to swirl Monday night/Tuesday morning when a post appeared on Tobey’s Instagram account, presumably posted by his girlfriend, stating the following:
“This is my girlfriend of six years. But I cheated on her with Loren Waters. @lorenkwatrs So feel free to continue following me if you really think I’m a good guy because I’m not. :)”
Tobey has not posted anything since and has locked or protected all his social media accounts. Neither the Spurs or Tobey have confirmed the report or his dismissal, but it has gained steam and been cited by other credible sites, including MySanAntnio.com (a sister site of the San Antonio Express News, SA’s main newspaper), so it is presumably a creditable report. We will provide updates here when/if the news is confirmed (or proven inaccurate) by a source more closely affiliated with the Spurs.

Tobey joined the Spurs broadcast team ahead of the 2024-25 season after longtime announcer Bill Land retired while dealing with a form of blood cancer. He quickly started building a good partnership with Sean Elliot and the Spurs community and was often a part of community events supporting Native American Heritage. If this is the last we’ve seen of Tobey with the Spurs, his final duty would have been conducting the introduction press conference for the Spurs’ 2026 draft class.
It will be a big position for the Spurs to fill but a highly touted one with them reaching the NBA Finals last season and having a long, promising future ahead of them with a young core led by Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper.
