NEW YORK — Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd said the former San Antonio Spurs play-by-play announcer who was dismissed following the online release of alleged affair messages should “hire an attorney immediately,” questioning the legality of the leak.
Speaking on “The Herd” on July 10, 2026, Cowherd reacted to the circulation of what appeared to be private texts that prompted the Spurs to cut ties with the broadcaster earlier in the week. “I have no idea that was legal,” he told listeners, suggesting the announcer might have grounds to challenge how the material reached the public domain.
The Spurs confirmed the announcer’s departure but have not detailed the circumstances. The broadcaster, whose name was not disclosed by Cowherd during the segment, has yet to issue a public statement.
Neither the team nor the NBA has commented on whether an investigation will follow the leak. Cowherd maintained that even if the personal allegations are true, the method by which the messages were exposed could constitute a violation of privacy laws.
The veteran commentator’s remarks sparked discussion across sports media about employer responses to off-court controversies and the potential legal ramifications of publishing private communications.
