Tobey, 29, began as the television play-by-play announcer of the Spurs in 2024. But over the summer, he was at the center of an alleged cheating scandal. Tobey was accused of cheating on his longtime girlfriend with Loren Waters, the sister of then-Spurs guard Lindy Waters III (read the full details here).
