Indiana Fever president Kelly Krauskopf steps down amid crowded offseason decisions
Kelly Krauskopf, the Indiana Fever's president of basketball and business operations, is departing the organization, the team announced. No succession plan has been made public, and general manager Amber Cox remains in her position. Krauskopf originally led the franchise from its inaugural 2000 season through 2018, overseeing 13 playoff appearances and the team's only championship in 2012, before returning in 2024. Her exit comes as the Fever face a demanding offseason that includes a potential contract extension for Caitlin Clark, free-agency negotiations to retain Kelsey Mitchell, and a cap situation that according to the report leaves limited resources to build around their core players.
