Kelly Krauskopf, a familiar face in the Indiana basketball scene, has returned to the Indiana Fever as the president of basketball and business operations. Krauskopf played a key role in building the franchise during its first 18 years of existence before spending six years with the Indiana Pacers. She has now decided to jump back in with the Fever as they enter a new era of success.
With the drafting of standout players like Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark, the Fever have seen increased interest and attendance at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Krauskopf aims to sustain this growth and establish the Fever as a leading brand in women’s basketball.
Drawing parallels between Clark and NBA star Tyrese Haliburton, Krauskopf envisions a playing style for the Fever that mirrors the Pacers’ success. She is committed to building a legacy for the team that will inspire the next generation of female athletes.
Krauskopf’s return to the Fever signifies a culmination of years of hard work and dedication to the franchise. She is excited to see the team gain popularity and recognition, a far cry from the early years when she had to explain what the Fever logo meant. This resurgence in interest and success is a testament to Krauskopf’s vision and determination to see the Fever thrive in the WNBA.
