The firing came just hours after the team announced that president Kelly Krauskopf had stepped down from her position, making for a dramatic reshuffling of the franchise's leadership in a single day.\n\nThe shakeup follows Indiana's first-round playoff loss and signals that ownership wants a different direction at the top. With Caitlin Clark anchoring the roster, the Fever have made no secret of their ambition to become a championship contender, and front-office stability clearly was not viewed as compatible with that goal this offseason.\n\nNo successor has been named for either Cox or Krauskopf. The scope of the overhaul, two top executives gone on the same day, suggests the Fever are prepared to rebuild their front office from scratch as they figure out how to build a roster worthy of their star point guard.","published_at":"2026-10-23T22:34:38.878100+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Fever GM Amber Cox out in massive WNBA shakeup hours after president resigns","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/23/sports/fever-gm-amber-cox-out-in-massive-wnba-shakeup/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Indiana Fever fire GM Amber Cox, AP source says","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/indiana-fever-fire-gm-amber-213914260.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Fever fire GM Cox, sources say, as front-office shakeup continues","url":"https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/50260814/indiana-fever-fire-general-manager-amber-cox"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Amber Cox out as Indiana Fever general manager: Sources","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7718252/2026/10/23/fever-gm-amber-cox-leadership-change-wnba/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Indiana Fever reportedly firing GM Amber Cox, another front-office shakeup after Kelly Krauskopf steps down as team president","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/wnba/breaking-news/article/indiana-fever-reportedly-firing-gm-amber-cox-another-front-office-shakeup-after-kelly-krauskopf-steps-down-as-team-president-210047191.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Amber Cox out as Indiana Fever general manager: Sources","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/amber-cox-indiana-fever-general-210108341.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Indiana Fever fire general manager Amber Cox after botched signings, bloated contracts per report","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/indiana-fever-fire-general-manager-210521049.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Indiana Fever make front office changes after Caitlin Clark’s 3rd WNBA season","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/indiana-fever-front-office-changes-212450001.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Indiana Fever part ways with GM Amber Cox amid leadership shakeup","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/indiana-fever-part-ways-gm-214300107.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Indiana Fever GM Amber Cox out: Her biggest moves, missteps","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/indiana-fever-gm-amber-cox-235519149.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Fever Make Stunning Front Office Decision as Caitlin Clark Faces $1.7 Million Question","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fever-stunning-front-office-decision-000449922.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Fever owner Pacers Sports & Entertainment release statement after firing Amber Cox","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fever-owner-pacers-sports-entertainment-005047437.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nypost.com/wp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F10%2FGettyImages-2225624434.jpg?w%3D1024","credit":"New York Post","width":4183},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
