Jason Anderson out of the remainder of Supercross with 'ongoing health concerns'
Jason Anderson will miss the remainder of the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross season to deal with ongoing health concerns.
Last week, Anderson missed the entire Seattle program because of what was described as a family emergency. Neither the rider nor the team has provided an update on the cause of that emergency. Still, after missing that round and leaving the Pacific Northwest seventh in the championship standings, 85 points behind the leader, Anderson decided to concentrate on his health.

"After sitting out Seattle, Jason Anderson has made the decision with the support of his family and Kawasaki to sit out the remainder of the Supercross season to address ongoing health concerns," Kawasaki Racing announced on social media. "His current plan is to focus on returning to competition for the [Pro Motocross] series fully prepared and ready to compete.
"Monster Energy Kawasaki will continue to attend the remaining Supercross rounds to be in support of Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki and Team Green SMX Next riders."
Anderson began the season with three podium finishes in the first five races. He failed to crack the top five in his next five appearances with a best result of sixth in Detroit, Michigan.

High Point MX betting, predictions, odds, picks, lines: Aaron Plessinger is a compelling dark horse
Jett Lawrence's betting odds are becoming increasingly prohibitive after scoring overall wins in the first three rounds of the 2025 Pro Motocross season on the strength of five moto wins in six starts. In terms of overall victories, he's won all but one round he's entered. The result is that his raw opening odds are -353 for the outright win this week and -2400 to stand on the overall podium. One would be hard-pressed to quibble over those odds, but there were signs that several riders in the field closed the competition gap in Colorado last week. Aaron Plessinger briefly passed Jett for the lead in the second half of Moto 1, Jett did not take the lead in Moto 2 until the halfway point, and Eli Tomac closed the distance on him for several laps. If either of those riders eliminates mistakes in the next few races while Jett is still recuperating from his torn ACL, bettors could have a profitable day. If Jett can be beaten, it could lead to a snowball effect. Short of an injury, it seems unlikely that anyone will be able to consistently finish ahead of Jett in the final eight rounds of competition, and that is reflected in his championship odds of -757. Jett currently has a points lead equivalent to one full moto (25 points), which translates to 1.6 points per moto over the next 16 races. But Jett did suffer an injury last year that kept him from winning the championship, so bettors need to pay attention to the championship odds for his closest rivals. Tomac's line expanded from +381 entering the Thunder Valley Nationals in Lakewood, Colorado, to +511 this week. The remainder of the field is more than 11/1 to take the title. Tomac (+274) remains the most likely rider to beat Jett for an overall win. He's riding well enough this season to change his mind about retirement, and rumors were all but confirmed last week in the post-race news conference that he will move from Yamaha to KTM as a teammate to Plessinger and Chase Sexton in 2026 (to clear the way for Haiden Deegan to graduate into the 450 class). Unfortunately, Jett's supremacy is so great that it forces riders into mistakes. Tomac rushed a corner in Moto 2 of the Thunder Valley Nationals while attempting to catch Jett and crashed. Plessinger (+1900) is brimming with confidence. When he says it's only a matter of time before he scores an overall win, one cannot help but realize he fully believes it. Plessinger has come tantalizingly close to winning his first 450 moto twice in three rounds. When he ticks that off his wish list, he could conceivably win the overall in the same round. He's worth modest bets each until he ends his streak of moto top-fives. Hunter Lawrence (+862) has lower odds than Plessinger, despite not being as consistently fast. Hunter is scoring overall top-fives with consistency that adds points to his total without making him a serious threat to win the overall. Sleep on Hunter until he begins challenging for moto podiums again. Given their relative performances, Plessinger and Hunter have been matched up in a head-to-head wager. Hunter is favored at -121, while Plessinger is practically even money at -109. Opening Odds, Outright Overall Win Jett Lawrence, -353 Eli Tomac, +274 Hunter Lawrence, +862 Aaron Plessinger, +1900 Justin Cooper, +3233 Cooper Webb, +6111 Jorge Prado, +9900 Jason Anderson, +12400 Joey Savatgy, +12400 RJ Hampshire, +13058 Harri Kullas, +13058 Malcolm Stewart, +13058 Benny Bloss, +13058 Bryson Gardner, +14393 Derek Drake, +14393 Romain Pape, +14393 Derek Kelley, +14393 Colt Nichols, +14393 Bryce Shelly, +14606 Brandon Ray, +14606 Opening Odds, Overall Podium Jett Lawrence, -2400 Eli Tomac, -233 Hunter Lawrence, -122 Aaron Plessinger, -110 Justin Cooper, +100 Cooper Webb, +164 Jason Anderson, +177 Jorge Prado, +550 Joey Savatgy, +774 RJ Hampshire, +841 Malcolm Stewart, +993 Harri Kullas, +4018 Benny Bloss, +4185 Derek Drake, +4185 Romain Pape, +4185 Derek Kelley, +4185 Colt Nichols, +4185 Bryce Shelly, +4185 Brandon Ray, +4185 Bryson Gardner, +4185 More SuperMotocross News Reid Taylor to make debut at High Point Trevor Colip recovering after stroke Thunder Valley 450 Results | 250 Results Lachlan Turner wins WMX Thunder Valley Chance Hymas earns second MX win Jett Lawrence sweeps Thunder valley Chance Hymas ends Deegan's perfect season, winning Moto 1 Jett Lawrence wins Moto 1, pressured by Aaron Plessinger Kayden Minear qualifies 12th in MX debut Thunder Valley 450 Quals | 250 Quals

Where did LSU ace Kade Anderson go in USA TODAY Sports' recent mock draft?
Where did LSU ace Kade Anderson go in USA TODAY Sports' recent mock draft? Ahead of the College World Series, LSU baseball star Kade Anderson continues to receive hype in MLB mock drafts. USA TODAY Sports released a mock earlier this week, slotting Anderson to the St. Louis Cardinals with the No. 5 pick. Anderson is emerging as a consensus top-five pick, with some mocks even putting the LSU starter at No. 1. "The Cardinals are almost guaranteed to get one of the elite college lefties and in this universe, it's Anderson, who has sparred with Doyle for the NCAA strikeout lead all year and will take his 163 punchouts in 103 innings into at least one more start, in Omaha," wrote USA TODAY's Gabe Lacques. Anderson worked as a reliever as a true freshman in 2024, but took over LSU's ace role in 2025. He's thrown 103 innings and owns a 3.76 ERA. In his last appearance vs. West Virginia in the super regional, the Mountaineers tagged Anderson for some runs, but the LSU ace made it through seven innings. LSU will begin its 2025 College World Series on Saturday vs. Arkansas. Anderson is likely to get the nod. If LSU wants an eighth national title, it needs Anderson to be dynamite in Omaha.

Reid Taylor to make professional debut in High Point Nationals on a 250
Reid Taylor, 21, will make his American professional dirt bike debut in the High Point Nationals this week in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania. Originally scheduled to debut in the 250 East division of the Monster Energy Supercross season, Taylor underwent minor surgery that delayed his start. Instead of heading home to his native Australia after the surgery, Taylor remained in the United States and relocated to the ClubMX Training Facility in Chesterfield, South Carolina, to maximize his recovery. Taylor's Supercross credentials include the 2023 and 2024 Australian Junior Supercross Championships as well as the 2024 Indian Supercross Championship, so it was an easy decision to tag him as Devin Simonson's replacement when that rider was injured late last year. 'I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to race for the team at High Point,' Taylor said in a news release. 'It wasn't in the plans, but it is definitely something that I want to do. Being at ClubMX on a full-time basis has changed the way I go about racing. The intensity, structure and focus are something that has been very beneficial to me. These guys are 'all in' and I want to return the favor by representing them the best way possible.' Taylor's High Point start is the only motocross race on his schedule for now, as Taylor needs to return to Australia to honor his visa requirements. He will return to the US later in the summer. 'Reid has fit right into our program,' said ClubMX team owner Brandon Haas. 'He follows everything we have asked him to do, and the results show it. We had a spot available for High Point and our organization has always been about giving riders a chance, so it only made sense to follow through on the idea. I discussed with the team and they were all in favor of it too, so this decision will be good for everyone.'
