Kelly Krauskopf will step down as team president, closing an extraordinary chapter in a career of nearly three decades w Via @IndianaFever on X

What happened: Krauskopf built the Indiana franchise from its founding and delivered its first WNBA championship. Her tenure also focused on expanding opportunities for women across professional sports.

Why it matters: The leadership change arrives as the Fever enter the 2027 offseason following their playoff exit, two months after Krauskopf backed the team's coaching direction. Incoming front-office leadership will immediately face offseason free-agency and salary cap decisions.

What to watch: Pacers Sports & Entertainment will now move to name a successor ahead of the 2027 WNBA campaign.
