Fever Making Another Major Front Office Move After Team President's Exit

The Indiana Fever are set to make another significant move in their front office following the recent departure of their president, Kelly Krauskopf. According to reports from The Athletic's Annie Costabile, the team has decided to part ways with general manager Amber Cox as well. Cox, who previously served as the chief operating officer for the Dallas Wings, was brought on board by the Fever in 2024 as both COO and GM.

Cox's arrival coincided with the team's sudden surge in expectations, following their elimination of a seven-year playoff drought. This turnaround was largely attributed to the emergence of rookie sensation Caitlin Clark. In the 2025 season, Cox bolstered the team by adding experienced players such as Sophie Cunningham, Natasha Howard, and DeWanna Bonner. Despite injuries hampering Clark's performance, Indiana still managed to improve their record to 24-20 and made it to the postseason's second round.

Following this successful season, the Fever continued their upward trajectory by finishing 28-16 and posting a league-leading 96.0 points per game. However, their championship ambitions were abruptly halted as the Las Vegas Aces swiftly eliminated them in the first round of the playoffs. The team's offseason lacked significant free-agent signings, with Monique Billings, Tyasha Harris, and Myisha Hines-Allen all finishing the year on the bench.

Indiana Fever will now need to find new leadership to build a title contender around star players Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston. Cox's successor will face a crucial early challenge, as All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell enters free agency after securing the third spot in the 2026 MVP voting with a career-high 24.7 points per game. The Fever have not indicated plans to change their head coaching position, with Stephanie White expected to return for her third season.
