Larry Brown will return to coach the Detroit Pistons this week after missing 10 games, a team source told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Brown will rejoin the team at practice Thursday, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, and will be on the bench at home Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers.

He did not coach the Pistons on Wednesday night at home against Sacramento, missing his 10th game in a row since undergoing a procedure related to hip surgery, which caused him to miss six games in November.

A message seeking comment from Brown was left Wednesday on his mobile phone.
