No stupid questions: Why don't teams play at a slower, more relaxed pace? (alien.top)

It seems like NBA players are more injury-prone than ever. I don't know much about basketball strategies but theoretically, each team in a match will have a nearly identical number of possessions.
So why the need to play basketball at such a fast pace? That's really tiring.

A 24 second shot clock doesn’t really allow for much of a slow pace and that’s just how the league likes it.
