Kelly Krauskopf has resigned as president of the Indiana Fever, the franchise confirmed on Friday. Her departure opens up significant questions about who will steer one of the WNBA's most high-profile teams through a pivotal offseason.
Krauskopf was instrumental in building the Fever from the ground up. She served as the club's first president and general manager when the franchise launched in 2000, staying in that dual role until 2018. During her initial tenure, she helped guide Indiana to a championship in 2012.
After leaving the Fever, Krauskopf made history by becoming the first woman to hold an executive basketball management position with an NBA team when she joined the Indiana Pacers in 2018. She returned to the Fever in 2024 to oversee both basketball and business operations.
General manager Amber Cox remains in post, but the organisation now faces a decision on whether to promote internally or seek an outside hire to fill the leadership vacuum.
The timing is far from ideal. Indiana heads into a crucial offseason with major contract decisions looming. Kelsey Mitchell is set to become an unrestricted free agent, while Caitlin Clark is eligible for an extension - two situations that demand decisive, experienced leadership at the top.
