The gate will drop on the very first round of the 2024 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship this weekend, and so far, we’ve got an extremely small list of known injuries to publish before the action starts this Saturday. Let’s hope this section stays nice and short all year!
Note, Marvin Musquin, missed all but the first race of 2023 due to a wrist injury, is not slated to return to racing in 2024. He stated on Instagram that, “What I know for sure is that I won’t be racing the 2024 US Supercross series. I have been taking some good time off to heal my last injury. It’s been fun to get back on the bike and I love riding. I will give you more news as soon as I can.”

Ty Masterpool – Ankle | Out
Masterpool underwent surgery after the conclusion of the 2023 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) for an appendectomy to address an appendicitis. At the same time, he also fixed an ankle problem he’d been dealing with. Unfortunately, his ankle won’t be rehabbed enough to race the opener. His ankles are expected to be 100 percent within a few weeks.
Colt Nichols – Shoulder | Out
Nichols will miss the season opener due to a damaged rotator cuff. He is expected to miss two to six weeks.
Aaron Tanti – Undisclosed | Out
Tanti posted to Instagram late Thursday that he would be missing the opening round following a recent practice crash that resulted in injuries he needed to get fixed.
250SX
Stilez Robertson | Out
There were rumors Robertson, who was expected to race the 250SX East Region, had suffered an injury. He took to Instagram today to provided an update on his left wrist injury.
"Little life update… 2023 hit me hard one more time and it hit me good lol 2/3 surgeries are done and everything is going well. Trying to be more positive in 2024 so we’re just rolling with it. Thankful for the people around me supporting me and keeping my spirits up. Counting down the days until I can get back on my @starracingyamaha 🚀🚢 Swipe to see my Frankenstein wrist 🤪"
