Amber Cox, Fever GM, sent a strong message after the team’s qualification to the WNBA Playoffs: “I have never seen anything like this group”

For the second time in a row, Indiana Fever sealed its pass to the WNBA Playoffs after defeating Washington Mystics 94-65 despite the difficulties the team faced.

This was cause for celebration for the fans, players, coaching staff, and even the Fever’s general manager.

The message from Indiana’s GM

The Stephanie White-led Fever managed to secure their playoff berth, but the road was not easy. Aari McDonald, Sophie Cunningham and Sydney Colson were the first three players to be ruled out for the rest of the season. They were joined by Caitlin Clark and Chloe Bibby.

Back-to-back losses, injuries, and their roster changes were some of the difficulties Indiana had to navigate and they eventually found a way to persevere and achieved their goal.

This effort did not go unnoticed by the team’s general manager, Amber Cox who, after hearing the news of the qualification, addressed the followers of her official X account to send a powerful message:

“In 15 seasons in this league, I have never seen anything like this group,” she began, quoting Fever’s post. “Every single member of this team, coaching staff and support staff is special – believing in one another thru an insane amount of adversity. I’m so damn proud of them” he finished alongside a heart emoji.

Of course, the resilience and camaraderie demonstrated by Fever did not go unnoticed by the team’s followers, who commented: “So damn good Fever and every single player and coaching staff, a huge congratulations“, “Congrats! Nice job building the roster in spite of all the injuries“, “Just make sure this group stays together for next season at ALL cost !!!! We’ll be sooo dangerously good !!!!”.

Currently, Indiana is in 7th place, but could move up to 6th place, depending on the results of the upcoming games (both their own and their opponents’).

The Fever still have a Tuesday the 9th matchup against the Minnesota Lynx at home in Gainbridge Fieldhouse. After that, they could face either the Las Vegas Aces or Atlanta Dream in the Playoffs, which are scheduled for September 14.
