NFollowing an injury he sustained on Saturday at the AMA Supercross round in Tampa, Florida, Honda HRC Progressive 450SX rider Hunter Lawrence has been diagnosed with raised and partially torn cartilage in his right shoulder, along with multiple cracks in the bone of his upper arm.
He is undergoing shoulder surgery today in Orange County, California, and with an expected recovery time of eight to 10 weeks, he will likely miss the remainder of the Supercross season.
Lawrence was injured during his heat race, when he took a hard fall that left him unable to line up for the main event. Evaluation this week confirmed the cartilage issue in the shoulder and while normal healing time is about the same, surgery was deemed the best course of action to ensure a full and stable recovery.
With Hunter sidelined and brother Jett still recovering from recent knee surgery, Honda HRC Progressive will continue its 2025 AMA Supercross campaign with a 250SX-based effort, with Chance Hymas in the 250SX East division this weekend in Detroit and Jo Shimoda resuming 250SX West action on February 22 in Arlington, Texas.
