Indiana Fever dismiss general manager Amber Cox after disappointing season
Summary

The Indiana Fever have fired general manager Amber Cox following a disappointing 2026 season that ended with a first-round playoff exit. Cox, who also served as chief operating officer, was let go on the same day that team president Kelly Krauskopf announced her resignation. Krauskopf issued a statement expressing gratitude for her time with the organization and the foundation laid for future success. The Fever's struggles this season included several unsuccessful free-agent signings, hindering player performance. With key players Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark facing potential changes, the franchise's direction remains uncertain as the offseason approaches.
