The phrase does not make sense to me.
A statement can be misleading but not implied. But a statement can imply something.

Not a teacher.

You can certainly word things in a way that would imply something that is misleading.

Yes, but do you call that a misleading, implied statement?

I think you can.

This does not seem logical.
A statement that implies that something else is misleading is not a misleading statement itself.

Implied often suggests that something is not said in actual words, so it would be possible to say that something is implied and misleading, though it would require a specific context to make sense of it all.
