Larkin (28, 1.82) has been training individually in Miami and wasn't involved in the first part of the pre-season with Efes but now is ready to join his teammates and work for the upcoming season.

Despite the rumors of both Vasilije Micic and Larkin potentially leaving Efes during the summer, in the end, the Turkish club was able to keep both of its superstars. The champions are facing the upcoming EuroLeague season with much more confidence and a serious threat for a repeat, which would be the first since Olympiacos Piraeus achieved it in 2013.

Larkin averaged 15 points and 4.1 assists last season in EuroLeague. He scored 21 points in a title-clinching game against FC Barcelona. This will be Larkin's fourth season with Anadolu Efes.
