Guard Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever won Rookie of the Year after an incredible WNBA season. Less than twenty-four hours after Clark’s ROTY win was declared, the Fever updated their front office.
Indiana has named Amber Cox the Chief Operating Officer and General Manager, per Khristina Williams. The report reveals that Cox will join the organization on Oct. 28, and the Fever’s current general manager, Linn Dunn, will transition into a role as a Senior Advisor.
Dunn has served as the Fever’s general manager since 2022. She’s had a coaching staff or front office role in the WNBA and colleague level since 1970, previously holding roles with the Kentucky Wildcats, Seattle Storm and Portland Power.
After spending time with the Dallas Wings, Cox enters the scene. Cox was the Chief Operating Officer in Dallas since June 2022, based on her LinkedIn profile.
Prior to her stop with the Wings, she was the Chief Operating Officer at the Panther City Lacrosse Club and KC Current. Cox also has a lengthy history in the WNBA, serving as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Phoenix Mercury from 2005-13 and Vice President of the Connecticut Sun from 2016-21.
The Fever appear to be positioning themselves for success, and they have a bright future ahead of them. In the 2024 season, Indiana faced a Big 3 consisting of Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Clark. Their All-Star trio finished with a 20-20 record and the sixth seed in the WNBA standings, helping the team make their first postseason appearance since 2016.
