Larkin (illness) is set to return Friday against Detroit, Mark Berman of the New York Post reports.

Analysis:

Larkin hasn't played since the final game before the All-Star break while battling an illness. He'll return Friday after a three-game absence and may have a chance to start given Jose Calderon's (Achilles) doubtful status. Even if Larkin comes off the bench, he figures to see significant minutes.
