Cal's Gutierrez to miss at least two games with knee injury

Guard Jorge Gutierrez, a top reserve for Pac-10 favorite California, is expected to miss at least the Golden Bears' two games this week with a sprained right knee.

Gutierrez landed awkwardly on his surgically repaired knee with 7:20 remaining in the first half of a 92-66 victory over rival Stanford on Saturday in the team's conference opener.

The Bears (9-4, 1-0 Pac-10) take an 8-0 home record into their game Wednesday night against UCLA at Haas Pavilion, then host Southern California on Saturday.

Gutierrez, a sophomore, is averaging 5.7 points and 3.2 rebounds for Cal. Coach Mike Montgomery hopes to have him back for next week's games at Washington State and Washington.
