Following an injury sustained during Saturday’s Tampa, Florida, round of AMA Supercross, Honda HRC Progressive 450SX rider Hunter Lawrence has been diagnosed with a raised and partially torn labrum in his right shoulder, along with multiple cracks in his humerus bone. He will undergo surgery on the labrum tomorrow, February 13, in Orange County, California, and because his expected recovery time is eight to 10 weeks, he is likely to miss the remainder of the Supercross season.

Lawrence’s injury occurred during his heat race, when he suffered a hard crash that prevented him from lining up for the main event. Evaluation this week confirmed the labrum issue, and while the normal healing time is typically about the same, surgery was deemed the best course of action for ensuring a full and stable recovery.
With Hunter sidelined, and brother Jett still out recovering from recent knee surgery, Honda HRC Progressive will continue its 2025 AMA Supercross campaign with a 250SX-based effort, with Chance Hymas continuing in the 250SX East division this weekend in Detroit, and Jo Shimoda resuming 250SX West action on February 22 in Arlington, Texas.
