This coming season Spurs fans will have a new play-by-play voice calling the action for their favorite team.
The San Antonio Spurs have reportedly parted ways with television play-by-play announcer Jacob Tobey after a personal controversy spilled into the public eye.
According to Front Office Sports, Tobey is out after his girlfriend allegedly accused him of having an affair with the sister of a Spurs player. The accusation surfaced overnight when Tobey’s girlfriend reportedly posted the claims to his Instagram Story.
While the Spurs have not publicly commented on the specific allegations, sources told Front Office Sports that Tobey is no longer with the organization.
The situation quickly gained traction across social media after screenshots of the Instagram posts began circulating. Neither Tobey nor the individual at the center of the allegations has publicly addressed the claims.
It remains unclear whether the Spurs will immediately name a replacement for their television broadcasts ahead of the upcoming NBA season.
As of now, the allegations remain unverified beyond the social media posts, and no additional details have been released regarding the organization’s decision.
