Jacob Tobey Returns to Spurs Broadcast Booth

The reinstatement marks an effort to rebuild his standing with the team despite unresolved public details about the earlier allegations.

Overview

  • Tobey announced on social media Friday that he will resume calling Spurs games after nearly two months away and thanked the team for time to address personal matters.
  • He stepped away in early July after posts on his Instagram account alleged he had an affair with the sister of Spurs player Lindy Waters III; those posts were later deleted and the claim was not formally confirmed by the team.
  • The Spurs confirmed Tobey’s return to the Express-News and a source told Front Office Sports that he has gotten his job back, while his agency, The Montag Group, could not be reached for comment.
  • Tobey had signed a multiyear extension with the team before his July absence and will rejoin analyst Sean Elliott in the broadcast booth for the coming season.
  • His return raises questions about rebuilding trust with colleagues and fans and highlights how social media allegations can quickly derail and then reshape high-profile sports media roles.
