San Antonio, TX – Jacob Tobey, the television play-by-play announcer for the San Antonio Spurs for the past two NBA seasons, announced on social media that he will resume his duties with the team. Tobey’s return follows a brief hiatus after a woman claiming to be his longtime girlfriend alleged he was involved in an extramarital affair with a relative of a Spurs player.

Allegations and departure

The claim was first reported by Front Office Sports, which also noted Tobey’s departure from the organization. KSAT was unable to independently verify the details of the allegation.

Return to the broadcast booth

In a post on September 4, Tobey thanked the Spurs for allowing him time to address the personal matter and expressed his commitment to regaining trust within the organization and the broader community. He will be back behind the microphone for his third season, joining former Spur Sean Elliott on the broadcast team.

“I believe I have the best job in the world and am thrilled to continue as the team’s play‑by‑play announcer,” Tobey wrote.

Career background

Before joining the Spurs, Tobey worked as a sports anchor in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Denver, Colorado, and also provided play‑by‑play commentary for Fox Sports and the Pac‑12 Network.

The Spurs organization has not released an official statement beyond acknowledging Tobey’s return.
