Fantasy basketball: if you start someone who you know is injured, will they affect your percentage stats?

In fantasy basketball, if you play someone even though you know they are injured and will not play that game, will their lack of stats affect your FG% or FT%? Should you bench the player instead of leaving them in your starters?|||They have no stats, so no effect. If spot is open, plug them in just in case. Only risk is if they are not so good because of coming off injury.
