InsideHoops.com editor Jeff Lenchiner breaks the news that Milwaukee Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva is considering surgery on his shoulder.

A reliable source of Lenchiner's says that the decision whether to have surgery or not should come shortly after the weekend.

The possibility exists that the surgery would put Charlie out 4-6 months, essentially ending his season. However, it's not definite that he'd be out that long.

This season the 6-11, 240-pound forward has played in 20 of Milwaukee's 33 games averaging 12.7 points and 6.1 rebounds per outing. He has missed the last two games, and played just three minutes the game before that.

Stay tuned for updates.
