Spurs Part Ways with Broadcaster Amid Internal Fraternization Allegations

The Fox Corporation subsidiary ecosystem has lost a prominent voice, as the San Antonio Spurs have dismissed lead play-by-play announcer Jacob Tobey. The decision follows allegations involving a personal relationship with the sister of a player on the roster.

Tobey, who joined the Spurs in 2024, was a rising figure in sports broadcasting. His departure comes after reports surfaced regarding an alleged relationship with Loren Waters, the sister of guard Lindy Waters III. The situation gained public attention following a post on social media accusing Tobey of infidelity. The Spurs organization has reportedly moved on from the broadcaster, emphasizing internal policies regarding employee conduct.

Prior to his tenure in San Antonio, Tobey held roles with Fox Sports and the Pac-12 Network. His exit creates a significant vacancy in the broadcasting booth for a franchise that is currently garnering national attention. With the team led by Victor Wembanyama and competing at a high level, the play-by-play position is considered one of the premier roles in the industry.

Fox Corporation trades in the Communication Services sector and operates extensive sports programming assets through its Cable Network Programming segment. The company continues to be a major provider of sports content across various platforms. As of the latest market close, Fox is trading at $53.94, up 1.2%.
