The outside world was super critical of Chennedy Carter, but the home fans have her back ... and that was crystal clear in the Sky's return to Chicago, where CC received a rousing ovation in her first game since the controversy!
Carter and the Sky played against the New York Liberty on Tuesday at home -- their first game since Chennedy's body check of Clark during last weekend's matchup.
It seems the Sky fans didn't care about the play, called dirty by many ... cause when she checked into the game, they cheered her on in a big way.
