Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Darryn Durham suffered another setback yesterday while preparing for Saturday’s opening round of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Glen Helen Raceway (May 24).

Durham, who had to sit out most of the 2014 Supercross Series while recovering from a concussion, was all set to go for the outdoors until injuring his leg yesterday while practicing. He said via his Twitter account that he suffered a tibial plateau fracture of his leg (near his knee).

It is not yet known how long he’ll be out of action.

Durham joins teammates Adam Cianciarulo and Martin Davalos on Pro Circuit’s list of Glen Helen non-starters. Cianciarulo is still recovering from a shoulder injury and Davalos a broken ankle. The team still has Justin Hill, Dean Wilson and Blake Baggett on the entry list, though Baggett is still dealing with some affects of an eye injury suffered a while back.
