Billups (knee) will undergo surgery to repair his right meniscus, the Detroit News reports.

Analysis:

Billups is inactive for Wednesday's game and has been in and out of the lineup all season. The surgery is not expected to be career-threatening or even season-ending, though Billups will likely be on the shelf for a considerable amount of time. In 19 games this season, the veteran is averaging 3.8 points on 30.0 percent shooting in 16.3 minutes.
