“Bye Bye Stephanie White” – WNBA Fans Erupt As Caitlin Clark Likes Fever’s Kelly Krauskopf Exit Post

“Bye Bye Stephanie White” – WNBA Fans Erupt As Caitlin Clark Likes Fever’s Kelly Krauskopf Exit Post

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark posted a message on Instagram after the team's decision to fire team president Kelly Krauskopf, with some fans speculating that coach Stephanie White may also be leaving. Krauskopf, who joined the Fever in 2024, was the first-ever president and general manager of the team when they entered the WNBA in 2000.

Over a 12-year period, the team made it to the playoffs 12 times until 2012 when they won the WNBA title led by Tamika Catchings. After six years as Pacers' assistant general manager, Krauskopf returned to the Fever before stepping down ahead of the season. The move came just three weeks after the Fever were eliminated in the first round by the Las Vegas Aces for the second consecutive year.

IndyStar reported that the team was also firing GM Amber Cox, with the claim that the team would be searching for a new GM to build around Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark.
