These stats are meaningless. Think about: why would you compare STARTS lost due to injury? That does not necessarily mean there were more actual injured players on slow-paced teams. It could be that the injuries those teams sustained tended to be more severe (which could be purely up to chance--this is only from one season, and doesn't even include all the teams).
There are too many variables at play here for this simple comparison to be meaningful. Like others have said, you would really need to compare injuries among the defenses of the teams who face fast- and slow-paced offenses. Even then, you'd need to look at data gathered over a longer period of time than one year to be able to draw any meaningful conclusions.
