19 PTS 9/11 FG 3/3 3PT
This stat line is wrong. If a player is 9/11 from the field with 3 made threes, he has scored at least 21 points from field goals alone, not 19; Fox Sports lists Morant's line in this game as 19 points on 8/10 shooting and 3/3 from three.
Full reasoning
The numbers in the post do not add up.
- 9 made field goals with 3 made three-pointers means:
- 6 made two-pointers = 12 points
- 3 made three-pointers = 9 points
- Total from field goals alone = 21 points
So the combination "19 PTS 9/11 FG 3/3 3PT" is internally impossible.
A contemporaneous game log from Fox Sports for Ja Morant's Oct. 16, 2026 preseason game at Golden State lists his actual line as 19 points, 8/10 FG, 3/3 3FG, 0/1 FT. That scoring breakdown is consistent: 5 made twos (10 points) + 3 made threes (9 points) = 19 points.
So the post's field-goal figures are incorrect even though the 19-point total and 3/3 from three match the real box score.
