AROUND the NBA:

Jacob Tobey is out as the Spurs’ lead play-by-play announcer after he was accused on social media of cheating on his girlfriend with the sister of a player on the team, sources told Front Office Sports. Earlier this week, multiple posts accusing Tobey of the affair were shared on his Instagram account. The posts went viral across multiple social media platforms. In a subsequent post on her own social media account, Tobey’s girlfriend indicated that she was responsible for the posts on his account and that their relationship is now over.

This eerily sounds like the same situation Tony Parker had when he was with the Spurs.

I don't get it. He wasn't married. Wasn't illegal. I guess you could argue if it's ethical, but seems like some false indignation by the organization to cut him loose.
