Indiana Fever fire GM Amber Cox after failed roster build around Caitlin Clark
IndyStar • • sports
Key Points:
- The Indiana Fever have fired general manager Amber Cox after two seasons, with the team failing to make significant progress in WNBA standings despite having three All-Stars on the roster.
- Cox was praised for managing numerous season-ending injuries in 2025 and signing key midseason replacements, which helped the Fever reach Game Five of the WNBA semifinals that year.
- She also played a major role in securing Aliyah Boston's long-term contract through 2029 and led the Fever to a franchise-record 28 wins in 2026.
- However, some of Cox's signings, including DeWanna Bonner and several multiyear contracts, did not pan out as hoped, contributing to the decision to part ways.
- The organization will conduct a national search for a new general manager following the simultaneous departure of team president Kelly Krauskopf.
