Last month, Judge Terry Ruckriegle decided that Bryant's legal team could use information about the woman's sexual conduct 72 hours prior to her hospital exam, which occurred 15 hours after her alleged encounter with the L.A. Lakers star.
No explanation was given for the state court's ruling, the Associated Press reports.
Bryant, 25, is accused of sexually assaulting the woman, now 20, last summer at a Colorado resort where she worked as a concierge. He could face from four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation, if convicted.
Bryant, claiming the two had consensual sex, has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors on Monday told reporters they would continue pressing their case, despite the setback from the state Supreme Court.
