Reports: Fever Firing General Manager Amber Cox
The move comes as Indiana faces major contract decisions for Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell after a first-round playoff exit.

- With a new practice facility opening in March 2027 costing $78 million, the Fever face urgent pressure to stabilize the front office and build a championship-caliber roster.
