After graduating from
Duquesne University Achara turned professional in 2008. He began his career abroad in
Italy. He came back to Scotland in 2010 when he joined Scotland's only professional basketball team, the
Glasgow Rocks. On 26 September 2010, Achara debuted for the
Glasgow Rocks in a game against
Sheffield Sharks, which they won 80–76. Following two successful years in
Spain Achara signed a short two-week contract in 2012 with the
Glasgow Rocks. After further spells in Europe, Achara re-signed for the Rocks for the
2014-15 season. He retired in 2019 after reaching three
BBL Cup finals with the team (2015, 2017 and 2019), finishing on the losing side on each occasion. Achara was recognised by Stirling Highland Games as a famous born son of Stirling and offered him the honorary position as their 2019 Games Chieftain. ==National team career==
